The Millers, in Joplin, Missouri, USA, owned a ranch. History relates that at "The Miller Ranch", in 1878, Jesse James was shot down by five officers who were trying to trap and capture him. The story was handed by a relative, Frances Carter (a sister of Lucy and Mary Eliza (Miller) Miller. It is interesting to consider "The Miller Ranch" was the site of the killing of Jesse James.
