Victor Eells sounds like the father of my mother-in-law and her sister, Madine and Nadine Eells. His name was Victor Clarence Eells, born in Colorado, and disappeared from the family in California in the 1920's. Madine said he had changed his name to Victor Holley. I am confused on his parents, but I know there was a story there. In 1900, he was in the Lyons, Colorado census listed as the son of Herbert Enos Eells and Myrtle Holley. I'm not researching this family, but did collect a little info years ago.
