Ellen Hoskins Loving (wife of Andrew J. Loving) is also Ellen Hoskins Gill (wife of William Gill). Our genealogical research came up with: "Buried under the name of Gill. No other husband listed in cemetary records per WPA Cemetary Records, p. 160"

Wonder if she's buried with one husband and the other is just a memorial. Hmm - wonder which is which. Unfortunately we live in Idaho and don't know how to check on this.

Family research shows Andrew J. Loving born abt 1867, probably from a Census. Other research shows his b'day as 26 Aug 1853. His death was 24 May 1925. Ellen was probably under the name of Gill since she Andrew were married only a short time (in 1925).

Mr. Loving married Mrs. Ellen Gill in this city march 19, 1924, and she with her children survive him.

Mrs. Gill lived her entire life in Jefferson County. After her marriage to William Gill they lived on a farm near her old home until eleven years ago when she left the farm and removed to Glasgow where she remained until her death. She was always a kind and loving mother, highly respected and loved by all who knew her. After her husband's death in 1923 she kept the house where the remaining children visited her in her last years.

After the death of her daughter Thelma Dorothy, she kept the two little boys, Harold and Cecil Dorothy, for company, and they were at her bedside at the time of her death. Although her health had been bad for many months, she bore her sufferings with patience. She confessed her faith in Jesus Christ and was true to Him. She will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends and relatives,
