Jessie's mother died from "child bed fever" a few days after Jessie was born. She was given to her aunt Sarah Elizabeth May Mills, and Sarah's husband, Thomas J. Mills, to raise her. Jessie's father was overwhelmed with so many children and it thought best that the infant girl needed a mother. Sarah had no children of her own.
