    (Medical):1871 census, Lillie is residing with her Aunt Cleopatra and Uncle Stanton Carpenter, as well as her grandfather Miller Weeks* (the census recorder has used the name Miller Weeks, but I am confident it is Daniel Miller Weeks) hw

    In 1880, Lillie is recorded with her parents Cyrennius and Maria Slaght, residing in Mears, Oceana, MI, USA. Lillie is noted as age 16, and working as a clerk in a store (presumably maybe her father's business as he is noted as a dry goods merchant)
