According to the Illinois Marriage License database, Ella T. ETNIRE married Winfield Scott MATTHEWS (born 1850, died 1913) in Fulton County Feb 13, 1879. According to cemetery records, Ella T. and Winfield Scott MATTHEWS are buried in the Ipava, Illinois Cemetery.
Winfield Scott and Ella are my husband's great grandparents. At some point, they lived in Nebraska (Kearney county) as the youngest of their children was born there, and several of the other children spent time in Nebraska. I believe their children were:
Gertrude Matthews
Floy Pearl Matthews (married Homer Bever)
Lloyd E Matthews (my husband's grandfather)
Jessie Mae Matthews (married Fred Appleget)
Elzie Ralph Matthews (born in Wilcox, Kearney Co., NE).
Does anyone recognize Ella Etnire as belonging to their Etnire's? Thanks so much.
