Daughter of David McKee and Jennett (a/k/a Jane or Jennie) Cartmell Scott McKee.

Her original given name is found listed on one family group sheet as "Pottenger" as the first name, but sourced only as from "Ancestral File", so that name should be considered with caution. Otherwise, "Jane" appears to be the first given name, with "Jenny" appearing in the same family history as perhaps a nickname.

Wife of William Miller, married on September 17, 1840 in Jefferson county, Iowa.

The obituary mentions that Jane (and William) had 14 children. Only nine living ones were listed in Jane's obituary. There is a "Descendants of McKee" family history by a Nancy Phillips in 2001 that attempts to list these children, but the listing is somewhat hard to follow and not all children were listed with burial information.

A State of Iowa death record lists the death location as Lake City, Calhoun Township, Calhoun County, Iowa. Jane was taken to Jewell in Hamilton county, Iowa, for burial in their Evergreen cemetery.

Mrs. Jane McKee Miller.

Mrs. Wm. Miller, whose maiden name was Jane McKee was bron near Belfast, Ireland, December 11, 1826. She passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs Johnn Blue, in this city, on the evening of Nov. 27, 1915, at the advanced age of 88 years, 11 months and 16 days.

The family came to this country when the deceased was four years of age, and settled at Pittsburg, Pa. Eight years later they came to Iowa and located at Fairfield. There she was married to Wm. Miller, Sept. 17, 1840. Shortly after marriage they moved to Keokuk county and settled on a homestead, where they remained over 30 years. In 1872 they moved to Harrisburg, S.D., and in 1879 to Sedalia, Mo., where they remained one year. They then returned to Iowa and made their home at Jewell, where her husband died in 1900. In 1910 she left Jewell and since that time has made her home with her children. Four about three years she resided at the home where death came.

She was the only daughter in a family of four children. One brother, Alexander McKee of Long Beach, Calif., survives her.

She was the mother of 14 children, nine of whom are still living. They are Mrs. Martha Sutherland of Schuyler, Neb., Mrs. Louisa New of Lake City, Mrs. Ellen Blue of Lake City, D. A. Miller of Carroll, Iowa, Mrs. Nettie Lemons of Okla., Mrs. Christina McCullough of Texas, Mrs. Belle Barney of Alva, Okla., Mrs. Alice Mayer of Schaller, Iowa, and Scott Miller of White, S.D. Numbered also among the close relatives are 63 grandchildren, 90 great-grandchildren and 25 great-great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Miller knew what it meant to struggle with adversity. Settling in Iowa at a time when the country was so largely undeveloped, it was her lot to share the trying experiences that were common to the pioneers. Her husband went to defend the Union during the Civil War and for three years she cared for the family - a task which taxed her ingenuity and physical endurance to the utmost.

She was a faithful Christian from early life and found many ways of giving expression to her faith that were helpful to those who came in contact with her life. Her hope was strong and bright as she approached the end of her earthly pilgrimage. She will be held in sacred memory by all those who knew her well.

The funeral service (sic) were held in the Church of Christ, Nov. 29 and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. O. Stuckenbruck. The body was taken to Jewell for interment.
