    Notes 
    • The list of the Children of Calvin and Celia Eller is in dispute. In addition to the names here, there is data on Ancestry.com with names James (1869-), Pettis J. (1880- ), John W. (1878- ), George Washington (1886-1953), Elizabeth/Betty (1887-1918) and Martha J. (1889- ). There are, in fact, 30 Ancestry trees with various combinations of these names (some nicknames, too). One listing has 23 children (with some obvious duplicates). Based on Census Data, this is our best guess.
