Biography

Oscar Ellis.

Born 19 MAY 1884. (according to his WWII draft card), (Iowa 1885 census has him at one year old, so born 1884, 1910 census says 1885, the 1925 Iowa census says 1884, yet his marriage record says 1879 and his gravestone says 1881. I think the more accurate date is 19 May 1884)

Died 12 APR 1950. Mellette, South Dakota, USA.
