Additional Comments:
Thomas Edward Ellis was born 31 Aug 1885, died Apr 19, 1966. 
Thomas E. Ellis' obit was published in the pages of the Columbus Ledger, 
Columbus Ga. Apr20, 1966 with the notation  "Entered into Eternal Rest Tuesday, 
April 19, 1966.
He was the principal of the school in Abanda, Al. His wife taught school in 
Abanda and when they moved to Langdale, she worked in the Langdale postoffice - 
she worked 20 yrs, she retired when she was 70 yrs old. The first names of the 
daughters are Mary Frances (Ellis) Hanson, Dorothy Virginia (Ellis) Rice, 
and Adeline (Ellis) McGee. I copied the obit exactly, and some of the children 
are in different towns as of 2004. They were all born in Abanda as far as I know.
