The area of Malad where this baby was born and died was called "Willow Springs" in that era. It has been confused with Willow Creek/Springs, Box Elder County, Utah which eventually had a name change to Willard, Box Elder, Utah.

This child has a gravestone and it is confirmed in his sister's biography that,
"March 4, 1872, at Willow Springs Elizabeth's second son was born and the midwife worried mother by holding him in the air to view his good looks and little George Miles, as they named him, took cold and didn't recover. On March 24, mother's birthday, George Miles died. Father drove to Willard in one day nearly 60 miles and mother held the lifeless little body of her baby on her lap the whole distance. Father always had fine conveyances and so it was easier to ride with him. George Miles was buried in the Willard Cemetery and mother never quite recovered from the sorrow."
