J Lell was born February 5, 1864 in Holmes county, Ohio to Moses and Martha (nee Frizell) Elliott. Initially named John Frizell, he was given the nickname J Lell, which became his preferred name, so much so that he named his youngest son the same. The family moved to Johnson county, Missouri some time in the 1870s. He married Anna Mae Thompson on June 15, 1897 in Carthage, Jasper, Missouri. The two had three children; Ruth E., James Ellward, and J Lell Jr. J Lell Sr. moved his family to Boulder, Boulder, Colorado in the 1920s, after his being diagnosed with tuberculosis. He passed away there on March 19, 1944, less than four months after Anna Mae.
