10.  Zurviah B. Ingals b. 13 Dec 1813 m. 9 Sept 1831 Robert T. Miller b. 19 Feb 1811 son of Samuel Miller and Polly Gardner of Jackson Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In the Ingals bible she is called Zurviah in the records of birth and again when she married. Also contained within the bible is a drawing with the notation "Presented to Mifses Zurviah Miller by her youngest brother C. S. I. as a token of remembrance it being the work of his own hands. This 24th Apr./46" In all other records she is called Sophia. In obituary of her mother she is called Suviah. Robert Miller is presumed to be the Robert Miller that first appears on the 1837 assessment list of Wells. They removed in 1850 to a farm near Morenci, Michigan in Fairfield township, Lenawee County and in 1884/8 they moved to a suburban home east of Morenci. Robert d. 16 Apr 1890 Morenci, Michigan and Sophia d. 30 July 1906. Buried Weston Cemetery.

Mrs. Sophia B. Miller Dead. July 30, 1906. She Was in the 93d Year of Her Age. Ill Since February. Mrs. Sophia B. Miller, the oldest woman in this vicinity, passed to her final rest at 6:30 Monday morning. Last February she was taken with paralysis, and had since been in a more or less feeble condition. Up to that time she had been quite active, doing house-work for her son, William, who lived with her and dutifully provided for her needs. Sophia B. Ingals was born in Chemung county, New York, December 13, 1813. In 1833 she was married in Pennsylvania to Robert Miller. They lived in that state until 1850, and then came to Michigan, settling upon a farm in Fairfield township. They moved to a suburban home just east of this village in 1884, and here Mr. Miller died in 1888. Both of the sons born to them are yet surviving - William, above mentioned, and Charles, now of Gibsland, La. These sons were long in the railway service, North and South, holding responsible positions as conductors and in other capacities. Charles is now postmaster at Gibsland. There is one grandchild - Miss Annie Miller, daughter of William, who resides at Goshen, Ind. Deceased was the oldest of ten children in the parental Ingals family, of whom there are yet three survivors - Charles S. Ingals, the retired attorney of this place; Miss Sarah Ingals and Mrs. Namah Jones, of Chemung county, N. Y. Mrs. Miller was a believer in the doctrines of the Universalist church. Christian charity in its practical form was the visible evidence of her relief. From the cradle to the grave in her case was a wide stretch of life, which only the exceptional ones are permitted to traverse. It was a long human journey, and in her course of travel, so to speak, she did her duty as she saw it. She was ready to "bind up the wounds" of afflicted ones that, faint and weary, dropped by the wayside. She gave them the "cup of cold water;" she gently touched them in death, - a host of those near her in that uncertain journey through all those many years. And so with courage and faith and love she passed along, humbly and gently, till the way worn limbs could no more bear the burden of age, and she, too lay herself down to rest for aye. The lives of the "Aunt Sophias" are a blessing to the world. Funeral services were held at her late home Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Henry Coate officiating. The singers were Mrs. Campbell, James Triggs and wife, E. B. Butler. The pall bearers - Clark Southworth, E. J. Wells, R. P. Boody, James Eldredge, James Wyman, Anson Sebring. Among relatives and friends present were Robert Carpenter, John Patterson and wife, H. Goldsmith and wife, Mrs. Tubbs and son, of Fairfield; Mrs. William Miller and daughter Anna, of Goshen, Ind (obituary).

The sickness of her daughter Sophia, at the time of her death and funeral, added greatly to the sadness of the occasion.
