Have pictures of their shops, and even the abstract of the home of Charles has been located. I am providing pictures of the time of their residence here, and today. I have heard nothing whatsoever but that has been positive about the families. Relatives have attended the cemetery here on Memorial Day many times, and the Methodist Church had a Heritage Sunday in 1989, and several Ellis Family were here. I have pictures of the children in school, 1924, probably Howard? I am honored to be collecting items for the documentary.

They had chickens and mother's family had a cow. They would trade milk for eggs. Mother said their chickens were black and white - she called them domino chickens - and were the largest chickens she had ever seen. She and her sister Pearl(deceased) played with Adrienne - they were always in each other's houses like friends do. Mother tells many stories of their time living next door. As she recalls they were 10 or 11 years of age at this time. I would like to get Dr. Adrienne's address so mother could write her a note.

I was raised in Altamont and remember my mother talking about the Elises. If she was still alive she would be 100 yrs. old. Her maided name was Mary Catherine Shab. I can't remember her stories. I guess when you are young you don't have much interest in those stories. There are a number of people that have lots of interest in your stories.
