I am so sorry for your family's loss. I read the obituary in the Haysville paper. I have done research on the Ellis family and have several descendants from James Calvin Ellis in the Sunset Cemetery. Julia Ann Ellis married George Willis Ellis. She was the Daughter of Noah F. Ellis. Julia had a daughter named Mabel and she married Wade H. Massey. I was hoping you might have information on James Calvin Ellis, who his parents were? You can contact me at . Thank you so much. Debbie Ellis Stone
