Looking at census records, I found Robert's father William in 1930 census for Mt. Vernon Twp, but no wife in the home and only son Leslie living with him along with William's brother and wife. I found his mother Ada listed as housekeeper in the home of George Becker in Cahokia, Centerville Twp, St. Clair Co, IL with her two youngest children, Rena and Robert listed as "borders". Ada states she is divorced. By 1940 census William and 2nd wife Ella are living in Webber Twp with all 3 children. Here is the obit for William's 2nd wife. The children are actually her step-children. Mrs. Ella Virginia MILLER of RFD 3, wife of William L. MILLER, died at 3:30 a.m. today of heart trouble. Her age was 47 years, 4 months and 26 days.
