Note: N225 She lived in Vincennes, IN. She always sat in an old rocking Chair and smoked a corn cob pipe (Great Aunt Vena also smoked a pipe). Hi Rich, Thanks to Kelly Oliver Keljeanne@@aol.com I believe we may have communicated through email in the past, so I wanted to give you an update because I saw your family tree on WorldConnect. The "Eila Sturgeon" in your family tree is my great-great-grandmother. Her name was actually Mary Ellen Sturgeon, but she went by "Ella." She was born on March 24, 1878 and died on March 28, 1916, according to her death record: Transcription of Death Record: DAVIESS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT 303 E. Hefron Street Washington, Indiana 47501 (812) 254-8666 RECORD OF DEATH THIS IS TO CERTIFY that according to the records of the Daviess County Health Department, MARY ELLEN EDMONDSON Died on 03/28/1916 at Age at Death: 38 Years 4 days Born: March 24, 1878 in Indiana Washington IN Occupation: housework Sex: F Color: White Marital Status: Widowed ------ Cause of death: Peritonitis Father: Jerry Morris Sturgeon Born: Indiana Mother: Nancy Jane Stanfield Born: Indiana Signed by: U.H.

Lang, M.D.]______ Health Officer, Daviess County, Indiana SEAL __Washington, Indiana_________04/25/00____ Address Date Recorded locally in Book No. CH-7 Page No. 80 Record on Ella Sturgeon married James A. Edmonson on April 2, 1898 in Daviess Co., IN. (I have a copy of their marriage certificate that I copied in the Daviess Co. courthouse.) James was the son of William Edmonson and Ellen Moor, according to his death certificate, but I believe his mother's name may be wrong. They had the following children: Albert b. June 26, 1899; d. Jan. 4, 1902 (I have a copy of his death cert.) George b. Feb. 17, 1901; d. Jan. 1984 (according to SSDI) Henrietta b. Feb. 17, 1901; d. abt. Feb. 17, 1901 Della Marie b. Dec. 24, 1903; d. Sep. 18, 1961 (she's my great-grandmother) Roy b. Aug. 27, 1906; d. Dec. 20, 1906 (I have a copy of his death cert.) Clifford b. Dec. 7, 1907; d. March 1954 Frank b. Jan 26, 1911; not sure of death date, but I doubt he is alive today. Most of the birthdates are from the Daviess Co., IN, Index to Births. Thanks for putting so much info on the web. I have a lot more names to look for now! kelly oliver (Mary Ellen Sturgeon-->Della Marie Edmonson-->Lola Irene Bline-->Jack D. Oliver-->Kelly Oliver)
