"Lottie" |
Charlotte "Lottie"
(Turner) McMillan was born on April 22, 1881 in Fayette County, PA, the
daughter of George Washington and
Mary Frances (White) Turner.
History's scant paper trail records her in 1900 at age 19, making her home with her parents at the time of the federal census. That year, she was employed as a "laborer."
Family papers show that Lottie married John McMillan ( ? - ? ). They made their home near Farmington, and John made his business calls in Ohiopyle.
According to family oral history, she died in childbirth on Oct. 13, 1906, at the age of 25, and was buried with the baby in her arms. Lottie and child were laid to rest in the Bryner Ridge Cemetery near Ohiopyle, where her mother and other relatives already were at rest.
Any other details of their lives are lost in the misty haze of the past.
John's fate is unknown. More will be reported here when learned.
