Olive married Oscar Miller on September 2, 1902. They settled in Loami Township and had two daughters and a son there: Sara, Marthalena and Bill.
On March 17, 1909, they moved from Loami to Cheadle, which is near Strathmore in Alberta Province, Canada. They brought with them John Henry Robertson, a good friend of Oscar's.
A couple years later, Oscar's cousin Thomas Curtis Miller and his family would also leave Loami for the Strathmore area, then return to Loami in 1929.
On the farm in Cheadle, Oscar raised hogs, goats and Russian wolfhounds. They had another son three years after their arrival there and named him Harold Oscar Miller. He was only nine months old when he fell seriously ill and passed away.
While living there, they had a man working for them that they'd told never to take the wagon down the road. It was a hill or a bad road and whether they didn't trust his judgement, driving or the road, they were concerned he might. One day Oscar called Olive to tell her something terrible had happened and she knew already without being told and instead told Oscar, "He took the wagon down that road and killed himself, didn't he?" She was right.
Oscar and Olive had a very close bond and always knew what was going on with the other. They just knew.
They had two more daughters in Cheadle: Helen and Pauline.
On October 1, 1921, the whole family packed up again and headed south for Waikiki Farms in Spokane, Washington, where their friends from the Strathmore area, the Auld's, had moved two years earlier. William Auld was managing the dairy farm there. Oscar's daughter, Sara, would later marry William's son, John.
After a brief stay at the farms and a stay in a house where the east end of the Whitworth College sports field now sits, they bought a house from the college meant for a Vice President or Dean of the college. They made some kind of agreement with the college to someday return it, in exchange for college tuition for their children.
Before they'd come to Spokane, Olive's "Uncle Jess", her uncle, Jesse W. Dodd and his family had come to Spokane, settling on the lower South Hill, across town.
Her husband died in 1945 and she followed him in 1952.
