her home which was located on D Highway between Crane and Scholten, around
1910. Nancy was the daughter of John W. Hilton of near Crane, and she was
the widow of James H. Ellis. People identified include front row, first

Wilson (Mrs. Francis E. Wilson), and next to her is Audie Ellis Williams

Hilton Ellis, and thirteenth Jeremiah B. Ellis, her brother-in-law. In
the third row, from left, tenth person is Helen Wilson Hilton (Mrs. Vernon
Hilton) and fourth from the right in that same row is Mae Ellis Johnson
