The following was contributed by "Millie's" great-granddaughter, Sandy:

Armilda Brown's name was really Rebecca Armilda. It was put on the head stone wrong. I know this because she was my great-grandmother, the mother to my Grandfather, Walter W. McKay. I understand from my mom who has papers that her given name at birth was Rebecca Armilda Butler. She went by the name of Millie. My mom was named after her. Thank you for putting her and her last husband on here. I thought it was great seeing it. Thanks Sandy
