She is found in records as Elinore and Ellen. Probably named after her paternal grandmother. She is counted, at age 3, in the 1856 Iowa State Census in Franklin County with her parents. Counted in the 1860 Federal Census with her parents, age 7, in Macon County, Illinois. The family must have returned to Franklin County, Iowa as her mother is buried in the cemetery there in 1862. The 1870 Federal census finds her, age 16, in the Ben Winkles residence in Brown County, Kansas. Her father, David, was a shoemaker and would have traveled to make his living. She married about 1876 to John T. Kelley. She is counted in the 1880 Federal Census as widowed, age 26, in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. Her 1 year old daughter, Anna, and her mother-in-law, Ann Kelly are in the household. Ellen's son, John T Kelly, was born 3 months after her husband died. Ellen's 3rd oldest son relayed the story about Ellen living in a sod house along Medary Creek in section 10, Alton Township, Brookings County, South Dakota. This is the place her in-laws homesteaded. Ellen then homesteaded a mile away. On the 30th of May, 1882 in Brookings County, South Dakota she married John Donald McMillan. His unimproved homestead site was about 1 and 1/2 miles away. They lived at her homestead and together had 7 children. Their divorce was final in 1898. She moved to Brookings, Brookings County, South Dakota. She tried to support the two youngest children, but with the money received from the sale of John's homestead land (she received as settlement - John got her homestead site and custody of the 5 oldest boys) she went to Alberta Province, Canada and homesteaded. She is counted there in the 1901 Canadian Census and again in the 1906 Canadian Census with her two youngest children. The 3rd oldest son enlisted in WW1 in Saskatchewan Province, Canada and listed his mother as his nearest living relative with her homestead address in Alberta Province. In 1904 at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada she married a neighbor, Malcolm McKinley and is found counted in the 1916 Canadian Census in Edmonton, Alberta Province. In 1920 she sought medical help, for bladder cancer, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Olmsted, Minnesota, USA. She is counted in the 1920 Federal Census there as a roomer. After doctors could no longer help her, she went back to Edmonton and died there. She is buried in the "Potter's Field Section" of the cemetery.
