Ellis (age 56) does not have a headstone at her grave, sorry. However, she is buried next to a William T. Ellis, age 17, died Feb. 19, 1883. Both Bessie and William were originally buried in Layman's Cemetery (now Soldiers' and Sailors') in Minneapolis and transferred to Lakewood November 29, 1899. In the same burial plot are John H., Mary E., and daughter Pluma Marie Milton. Don't know if they are related, but you might. I have a copy of the original plot map and pix that i can send if you want to contact me offlist. Hope this helps, Bob Cook in the Minneapple
