Glad you noticed what a man wouldn`t. Ella had her third son Dewitt Franklin in Sept,
1880, and it could be that my aunt had the date wrong on the photo. As you all know it is
so difficult putting the past together with only a few photos and limited information.
Dewitt Clinton Niblick and Ella divorced in 1880 and he hightailed it to Illinois where he
remarried in 1881. In the 1900 census Ella claimed she was a widow, when divorced was
another stigma of the time. I have photos of Ella in 1919 in South Bend, but I have never
located her in the 1910 or 1920 census although she passed away in 1922.
From what I can surmise, Dewitt Frankiln married the gal, Bessie Moore, who lived in the
house one the next street that burred against Ella`s home.

Those are great pictures! Ella looks like she's
pregnant - do you know if she was? I always think it's
interesting to see older pictures like that of
pregnant women. I have read that at least up until the
Civil War era, pregnant women didn't appear in public.
So old photos of pregnant women are pretty unusual.
By the way, I sent some of these photos to the list a
while back but Debby you're welcome to download them
and add them to the site if you'd like. They're of
Stacey Oliver Prough. He was the son of James Franklin
I and Lola Lucille (Hilt) Prough. Both of the elder
Prough's were born and raised in Tippecanoe County but
Stacey was born and raised in Logansport. He moved
back to Tippecanoe County after serving in the Army in
WWII.

Thanks for sharing Debby and Mr. Niblick! I love
looking at old photos!
