Notes for Cora Lena (Spouse 1)
Name of wife and daughters deduced from 1920 and 1930 census records.
In the 1910 census, Ernest’s wife Cora and daughters Cecile and Katherine are enumerated with Cora’s parents, Charles and Etta Ellis in Los Angeles, CA:
Name Age
Charles Ellis 47 head m 2 yrs IA IA IA Stationary engineer
Etta Ellis 49 wife m 2 yrs IL KY IL (mother of 2 children, 1 still living)
George Ellis 16 son s AZ IA IL
Walter Ellis 14 son s AZ IA IL
Cora Hargis 24 dau m 7 yrs TX MS IL Music teacher
Cecile Hargis 6 gr-dau s AZ MS TX
Katchrine Hargis 1 6/12 gr-dau s AZ MS TX
From this record, it seems that Etta Ellis was 2nd wife of Charles Ellis and probably not mother of Cora, George and Walter. Hoever, she may, in fact, have been Cora’s mother, in which case we do not know Cora’s maiden name
