Ella M. Marshall was my great grandmother through my Houston side. Ella's maiden name
was Beebe. She married George Houston in Michigan about 1875. She was 18 and George was
22.
They had 3 children, Ida, Blanche and Claude Ross Houston. They divorced sometime after
Claude R. was born in 1883. George remarried later to a Cora Jane Shipley.
Last weekend I found old correspondence from an Attorney's office requesting a release
from Claude R. so that Ella M. Marshall's estate could be sold to satisfy debts. That
letter was dated April 1917. So I'm assuming that Ella had remarried to a man named
Marshall and had recently passed away (1917).
Can anyone help me find my great grandmother's people after her divorce from George
Houston. What about her death? What was her second husbands name?
Any help would be appreciated.
William (Bill) Marshall
