The Millers had one daughter, Maud, born on Sixes River, north of Port Orford, in 1864. Mrs. Belle W. Cooke of Salem kept her for a while after the divorce. Byronically, Miller later took her from her mother and placed her in a convent school. She became an actress, and died in 1901. There is a fuller note on her in the chapter "A Century of Literary Gossip." The following poem was written of the two younger children —boys, George B. and Harry, born in Canyon City — whom Mrs. Miller had taken to the home of her mother after the divorce.
