Daughter of Joseph Bullock Van Petten and Maria Nancy Kingsbury

Married Harvey Leigh Shatto 3 October 1880. Reiter, Washington County, Kansas. Ended in divorce.
Children:
Floyd Lee Shatto - 7 June 1881

Married Thaddeus J. Campbell 19 May 1888. Ames, Cloud County, Kansas, her age 27. Ended with her death in 1890 with the birth of a child..

Ellen first appears age 7 months in the 1860 New York, Oswego County, Hannibal census with her parents and four siblings. Her father is returned as a butcher. The family so far is not found in the 1870 census but in the 1875 Kansas state census they are reported as "coming from" Illinois. Most evidently her parents were moving the family in stages westward and ended in Kansas where her parents spent the rest of their lives.

The 1875, 1880 and 1885 Kansas, Washington County, Sherman Twp. census reports Ellen is age 15, 21 and 24 respectively; in 1880 named as Ellin M. and in 1885 as E.H. Shatto, divorced.

Ellen's first marriage was a short one. Harvey Shatto was the son of a local farm family that had originated in Pennsylvania and came in stages across the mid-west to Kansas, including Indiana where Harvey was born. They arrived in Washington County about the same time as Ellen's family. Harvey remarried in 1887 and took the family to the west coast in the very early 1890's.

Ellen's second husband was a native Ohioan, Thaddeus J. Campbell, a physician and graduate of St. Joseph, Mo., Medical College. He practiced in Ames and also Iola. He had lost his second wife in 1886. After the death of Ellen he remarried again in 1892, his last wife outliving him.

Ellen is buried along side her parents in Reiter Cemetery and shares the opposite side of a pillar monument with her sister, Margaret. She is buried with her infant child whose grave is marked with a marble block only with initials - one of which has been knocked off by a mower.
