Research Notes
It appears she may have been married several times as her social security record has various last names. Also her birth date is recorded as 21 Jul 1929 on the Social Security Applications and Claims Index but 21 Jul 1931 on the Social Security Death Index. She was listed as nine years old in the 1940 census and was not in the 1930 census, so the 21 Jul 1931 date is probably correct. Bishop-4082
First married Kenneth E. Shores.
When her son Gary Dossett married, a Mrs. Holden H. Rhymes Jr. was mentioned as a hostess. This may be his mother's new married name. [6]
Lastly Ella Mae Bishop married Ives James Vaughn.
According of Ella Mae Bishop's Social Security Application Index; she updated her name to Ella Mae Vaughn on June 30, 1975. She would have been 44 years old, therefore am not sure if Willis Warren Vaughn was her son.
I have not been able to find an obituary or where Ella Mae Bishop was buried. Bishop-4082 19:48, 25 November 2016 (EST)
