"Why she was named Travis"
Her father left on a mission before she was born. He wrote home and said that he wanted their baby to be named after his missionary companion rather it was a boy or girl. It was a girl and she was named 'Travis'. She married Michael Elmo McMillan on 5 Nov 1930 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Travis became the step mother of Elmo's four sons from a previous marriage as his first wife had passed away. They became the parents of four more children. She was my dear aunt and I remember her great cooking that she loved to share and her beautiful quilts. My brother received her name of 'Travis'. He also named a son, Travis, and has grandchildren carrying the name. Many years later 'Travis' became the #3 name for boys in the United States.
