Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

The Davis family may have moved to Bremerton, Washington while Ellen was still a child, where she may have attended West Hgh School and sang in the choir. She appears to have been a Junior in the 1957 yearbook. The 1958 yearbook notes she was also in the tumbling group.
