I don't have a photograph of Mrs. Miller. I have this drawing of the two of them, from my dad's family history records:

The Miller family were prominent early settlers in Bangor, Michigan. 

The Miller family is connected to the Thomas family by the marriage of Dale Miller to Alice Ford.

Dale Miller was a half-brother of Josiah Gregory Miller.

Alice Ford was a sister of my great-grandmother Nancy Ford Thomas.

Dale and Alice Ford had a son named John Cleveland Miller.

John and his wife Giulielma had three sons - Jerry, Preston, and Allan.

Giulie died when Allan was born and he was raised by my great-aunt and uncle Harry and Effie Thomas Wieland. (Effie was a sister of my grandfather Bill Thomas.)

I have a picture that is unlabeled (a whole bunch of them, actually) that I believe might be John and Giulie Miller -- when I compare it to the earlier photograph, above ...

I don't have any way of knowing whether it is really them or not.
