Ellis' Daughter Dona was married to Cloyd Tippetts (not Gloyd as the article suggests). Also, she no longer resides in Las Vegas as was the case at the time Ellis died. Also, she is remarried.
The article indicates Ellis was married and divorced, but his wife Laura Jane died shortly after she gave birth to their only child, Dona Vivian. Laura had an identical twin sister, Clara Jane Ackerlund whom Ellis married several years later on August 23, 1938. I am a child from that union. He and my mother were in fact divorced several years following their marriage.
