I am interested in hearing from anyone conducting research on the ELLIS family living in Calumet (Houghton County) MI during the early 1900s. Specifically JOHN A. ELLIS and his wife KATHERINE ELLIS. The ELLIS family was living on Portland Street in Calumet in 1910. John Ellis was a jeweler. Among the Ellis children was KATHERINE ELLIS who married GEORGE M. ROSS in 1908. Katherine was age 26 at the time of her marriage to George. George was a boiler inspector. Katherine was listed on the 1920 census as a Normal School Teacher (possibly Morrison School in Calumet); was age 38, had been widowed, and was again living with her parents at 711 Portland Street in Calumet MI. I do not believe there were any children from the Katherine Ellis and George Ross marriage. I own two original watercolor paintings dated 1908 and signed by "K. Ellis Ross". The paintings are in my family heirloom collection. I presumed the paintings were from the Calumet area and for years attempted to locate the artist. I was thrilled to finally discover the likely painter, Katherine (Ellis) Ross while reviewing the 1910 and 1920 censuses. I would gladly provide a member of the Ellis or Ross family a digitized image of these watercolor paintings for their family collection. Gary Near St Louis MO USA
