  Married	Abt 1905  [1, 4, 8]
  	[Because of the 1910 census record, it is possible that Millard had two wives, one of which is called Bessie whom he married about 1905 and whom died after 1910, and Laura E. Benjamin whom he marries before 1918, when she is recorded as his wife on his WWI draft registration card. If this be the case, then a possible scenario is that Bessie dies in childbirth for Dorothy (1915), and Millard marries Laura shortly thereafter. See note with 1910 census entry for Milliard.]
