Dear Cousins, It's been a while since I've posted this message, so I'll post again in hopes that some new cousins are reading it. I am of the fairly well-known Wright and Texas County Ellis families. My GG-Grandparents were William Benjamin "Buck" Ellis and his 2nd wife Mary Boatman. Their son Andrew Patrick Ellis and his wife Ida Elizabeth Watson Ellis are my G-Grandparents, and their son Arthur Eugene Ellis was my grandfather. My grandfather got himself into some kind of legal hot water in the 1930s....don't know what it was and I don't suppose it matters now. But he died, at age 38, in September of 1943 of Typhoid Fever. He is buried near Neosho, in Newton County. Besides having a huge number of grandchildren still surviving him, he is survived by three children: my mother, Vera Lee Davis, her sister Charlotte Ann Thompson, and his son and namesake Alvin Eugene Ellis. His one remaining sister, Beulah, died last year. No one in our family has a single photograph of him. I'd love to give my mother and her sister and brother a picture of their dad. If anyone has any old photos that they think might be Arthur Eugene Ellis, could you be in contact with me? I've no idea what he looked like. I'm told he may have had red hair. Thanks a heap! Your Kansas cousin, Billy Walker Milton, KS
