Ella Jefferson

(3 Dec 1859 - 5 May 1933)

According to the 1880 census, Ella is living with her Aunt & Uncle, Mr & Mrs. Perry A. Honeywell, in Minnesota. They are living in High Forest and he is a hotelkeeper (the only hotel in High Forest at that time is the Tattersall House, so speculation tells us that Perry might be running this hotel, where Ella is helping in the hotel.)
:: :: Family legend has it that she met her husband Winfield Scott Stiles when he drove the stage. The Tattersall House was a known stage stop. (Winfield drove a stage, and his son, Burt, my father, related a story concerning driving this stage. Dad stated that his father drove whatever the weather, and at one time his hands were frozen to the reins, and when he got to his stage stop, his hands 'had to be pried loose from the reins', to thaw them out. Winfield's hands were all gnarled from driving stage.)
:: :: In the 1860 census for Delaware Co., IA, in Delaware twp., P.O. is Manchester; Ella is 7/12 years old, living with her Paternal grandparents, William Jefferson, born in NY (aged 62), & Joan, his wife, born in Iowa (aged 54). Ella's mother is already a widow at the age of 24, Susannah Craddock Jefferson.
:: :: Ella and Winfield were married at the home of her parents Nelson and Susanna Sherman, in Rochester, MN.
