Transcriber note: The death record on file at the Jefferson County courthouse provides the name as being Jelina Ella Ward. Her headstone, however, uses Ella J. Ward. Her maiden name was KING.

She was first married to a John/James MURDOCK and had two children in that marriage. She then married Thomas S WARD and had seven children in that marriage.

Buried in Evergreen Cemetery, 2nd.033
