Jimmy Ellis

The last three posts have been sad ones. Jimmy's obituary was in today's paper. Jimmy was the youngest of Bill and Louella Stovall Ellis's children.

Sympathy to his family. When mother married Raymon Stovall, we moved to his house located on a hill four miles east of Plantersville, and at that time Raymon farmed with his brother-in-law, Bill Ellis; Bill and his family lived on the same hill about fifty or so yards away.

When I was seventeen or so, we took our only vacation, traveling to the Smokey Mountains, and Jimmy went with us.

I understand that Jimmy was a very talented musician.
