Fredrick Ellis would have been my grandfather as well. My father is Dwight Gene Dwello, currently residing in Yuma AZ and Libby MT. I have not been able to find much information on Fredrick prior to his death in Missouri. My father was young when he died and a poor historian. Daughter's Muriel and Esther are still alive, though in poor health. Visited with Muriel this past summer. You may contact me if you need information on the Dwello's in Montana, Idaho and Washington.
