Biography

Elizabeth Jane Kindred was born in 1824 in Indiana, United States. [1][2] She is the daughter of Benjamin Elledge and Catharine Reynolds. [3][4]

Elizabeth Jane Elledge, eighth child and fifth daughter of the Benjamin Elledges, was born in Harrison county, Indiana (between New Albany and Laconia) February 20, 1824. She was 10 at the time the family emigrated from Indiana to Pike county, Illinois. She also bore the name of her great grandmother, Sarah Kindred, who was the mother of Francis Elledge and the wife of an early William Elledge. Her full name appears in a family record as Elizabeth Jane Kindred Elledge."

Elizabeth Jane, on May 6, 1841, married James Hart Ingalls, [5][6] member of a family with whom the Elledges were much intermarried. Rev. Ezra Stout performed the ceremony at the Benjamin Elledge home. Elizabeth Jane's cousins, Rebecca Jane and James Alexander Elledge, children of William Elledge and Tabitha Beall, later married William Mortimer and Mary Jane Ingalls, children of Darius Ingalls, early settler at Jacksonville.

To James H. Ingalls and Elizabeth (Betsey) Jane Elledge were born two sons, Henry and William E. Ingalls. William E. married Addie Ireland, at Griggsville, September 10, 1871, and they had a son, Harry Ingalls. William E. Ingalls moved to Jacksonville and there conducted a bakery in connection with the large grocery establishment of Grassly & Co. (C. F. and Fred Grassly) on the east side of the Jacksonville public square. Ingalls later went into business for himself in Jacksonville, operating under the name of Ingalls & Co. Addie Ireland Ingalls, his wife, died at Jacksonville, June 7, 1878, and the body was brought to the home of W. A. Wise in Griggsville, where the funeral was held, interment being in Griggsville cemetery.

Mrs. James H. Ingalls, on January 12, 1858, married as her second husband William Augustus Wise, [7][8] a native of Prussia and a skilled gunsmith who was long in business at Griggsville. He was associated in the early 1870s with L. J. Bartlett, under the firm name of Bartlett & Wise, and later conducted a gunmaking and repair shop with A. G. Woodson, on the south side of the main business street in Griggsville. During the Civil War he had been foreman of the armory shops at St. Louis.

Augustus Wise and Elizabeth Jane Elledge had one daughter, Delia, who married one of the Grasslys of Jacksonville, with whom her half-brother, William Ingalls, had been associated in business. Delia Grassly has two daughters, Delia and Nellie Grassly, deans in the Chicago Conservatory of Music; and a son Frank, also of Chicago.

William Augustus Wise died at Griggsville April 11, 1896; he is buried in Griggsville cemetery. His widow, in her old age, was attended by her grandson, Harry Ingalls, son of William E. and Addie Ireland Ingalls, whom she had taken to raise, his mother having died when he was an infant. She, the last of the Benjamin Elledge children remaining at Griggsville, died there of old age on July 12, 1902 in Griggsville, Pike, Illinois, United States [9]. She was 78 years, two months and six days old. Burial was in Griggsville cemetery.
