• Notes

  Mary Ellen was accidentally shot and killed by her daughter Eugenia, known as Jene. One story says she was shot in their orchard by Jene who thought she heard a fox in the chicken house. Another story says Mary Ellen was hunting with three of her daughters and they were crawling through a barbed wire fence when the shotgun (held by Jene) accidentally went off and literally blew her head off. Newspaper account says Jene, about 20 at the time, could not talk for weeks after. Family records and notes courtesy of Doroth Joanne Haskell
