Add. information from the death cert. of Ella Argo is: She was 55 years old, single and her parents were unknown. Cause of death was pulmonary tuberculosis, with a contributory cause of epileptic psychosis. She was a former resident of Harrison Co., Ky. Her length of stay as a patient at Eastern State Hospital was not noted. She died there on the date above and was buried in their cemetery on June 29, 1934. (Ky. Death Cert #13822).

*Ella was the daughter of Charles and Mary (Maiden Name Unknown) Argo. Her parents are found in the home of John and Rebecca McDaniel Hollar in the 1870 census of Nicholas Co., Ky. (I thought this might point to them as Mary's parents, esp. since she is buried in the same cemetery as the Hollar couple. I couldn't find the Argo marriage record and Hollar family trees list a daughter, Mary Hollar, but do not note a marriage or husband's name-so I have left her MNU). The Argo family is next in the 1880 census of Harrison Co., Ky. where Ella is enumerated as Ellen Thomas Argo. The enumerator noted that her mother, Mary, suffered from neuralgia. Based on her mother's headstone record, Mary Argo passed away in 1888. Ella is found in the household of John and Rebecca Vandevere in the 1900 and 1910 census of Harrison Co. Ky. In the first she is listed as a ward, in the second as a servant. She is then enumerated as a patient at ESH in the 1920, 1930 census of Fayette Co., Ky.
