The headstone date of 1883 is incorrect. Ella had a sister Lucy that was born August 15, 1883, so Ella could not have been born a little over a month later. According to Ella's brother Oliver, Ella was born in 1881.
Excerpt from the diary of Oliver Morton Wallen:
February 17, 1905 - "...Jess, Ella and I are all that is left of Mamma's children. Ella lives in Rockcastle Co., Ky. Jess is here with me. O. M. Wallen Born July 12, 1870. Jessee Uriah Wallen Born Oct. 17, 1878. Euna Ellen Wallen Born Sep. 25, 1881..."
I have a copy of her marriage certificate. Ella married John L. Norton on December 24, 1901 and her age is 20 on the certificate.
Children of Ella and John: Mabel M., Virgil B., Zora B.
