Ely was born in Wilbrahorn, Mass., Aug. 5, 1837. He came with his father's family to Adams county, Wisconsin in 1855. Volunteered at his country's call in the war of '61 and was wounded once, honorably discharged and then later drafted and served to the close, in all enduring the hardships and dangers of a soldiers' life over two years. Was married twice, first on Jan. 5, 1864 to Jane Whitman, who died Feb. 20 1874. To them were born three children: Julia, Sylvia who is now Mrs. Bullock of Chisholm Minn., and Carrie who died in childhood. Again on Sept. 12, 1876, he married Ella Loscy. Seven children were given them: Dwight, the oldest, died when young, Scott who resides on the old home in the twon of Monroe; Ralph, of Mullenville, Kansas; Frank H., Austin L., Melvin P. and Emma C., all of whom with his wife, four brothers and one sister are left to mourn their loss. Mr. Ely moved his family to Endeavor last fall that the children might attend school. On Nov. 6, bei! ng in usual health, he and his wife went to visit friends and relatives in the old home, and after leaving the train at Necedah and reaching the sidewalk he halted and said "I am faint" and in a few moments his spirit had taken its flight, without a gasp or struggle. No one can know the grief and shock to the companion at his side, but He who is the widows God and the orphans guide will comfort and sustain. Mr. Ely sought and found his Saviour when but a young man, and united with the M. E. church. In later years he transferred to the United Brethren of which he was a member at the time of his death. Funeral services were held by Rev. Wilson, Nov. 10, interment in the Spring Creek cemetery. [Transcriber's Note: This is the Monroe Twp cemetery in section 18]

Sep 1925; reportedly, buried in Monroe Center or Spring Creek Cemetery, Adams Co., WI. I believe George was the son of George K. Russell and Jane A. MOSHER. Edith STEWART; b. 1860 in WI; d. unknown. Edith was the daughter of Joseph STEWART and Sarah HAMMOND. Any help would be much appreciated. Paul E. Newell Ellicott City, MD
