Mrs. Lou Ella Ellis



Mrs. Lou Ella was Raymon's sister and for those of you who don't know she and Mr. Bill and their children lived on a hill across from Mr. Bennie Estes about four miles east of Plantersville and Raymon lived on the hill just south of them. When my mother married Raymon in 1948, the twins, and John and Jimmy were still at home; I'm a little cloudy on whether "Boo" was still there or not.
Raymon farmed and drove the school bus; however, a year after he and mother married, he took a job with the Pure Oil Company in Tupelo located where the new development near city hall is now.

I talked with my step-cousin, Linda Stovall Booth, last week and she reported that Jimmy has recently undergone heart by-pass surgery. I hope he is recovering well.
