Her name was possibly Margaret Ellen McRae. Ellen was born in Wick, Caithness, Scotland, apparently the daughter of Peter and Margaret (Fraser). The family story says that she left there in the 1830's as a Nanny with a family to the south of England where her employers sailed away leaving her behind so she was out of a job. She stayed in the Devonshire area where she met John Oatway, a man with a farm by Barnstaple. They married and started a family, bearing children Richard McCrae, Mary Ann Fraser and William Henry. Shortly after their fourth child George Brodie Oatway died during the Devonshire crop failure period of the 1830s-40's, they emigrated to Canada West, formerly called Upper Canada. She worked hard on their new property and bore a large family of four more children, Sarah Jane, Margaret Helen, Elizabeth Matilda, and Jessie Clara. On Sundays, if John was far away working, she would ride her horse sidesaddle to church in nearby Perth. The photo of her and John was taken in a studio in Perth, Canada West (Ontario) in 1861.

Her obituary appeared on 11 Feb 1903 in the St. Lawrence Republican and Ogdensburgh Weekly Journal in Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence, New York, as follows: "North Hammond, Feb. 9.--

Our community was shocked to learn of the sudden death of Miss Maggie Miller, which occurred in Ottawa, Feb. 4th, of measles. A few days before she had been invited by a girl friend to visit in Ottawa, and after arriving there both girls were taken ill of measles. Miss Miller was always a frail girl and only a few months ago had a severe run of typhoid fever and had not fully recovered her strength. When her condition became alarming last week relatives were telegraphed for and arrived shortly before death.

Her remains were brought to Ogdensburg, and funeral services were held at the home of her brother, Walter Miller, and Friday morning she was buried in Pine Grove [sic] cemetery at Morristown beside her parents and brother. She leaves three brothers to mourn her loss, Walter, of Ogdensburg; Edward [sic] of Morristown, and Frank, of Hammond.

Miss Miller was a most estimable young lady and for many years resided in this vicinity where she has a legion of friends who will deeply regret her untimely death. She was a member of the Congregational Endeavor society of this place. It is expected the other young lady will recover."
