General Notes: Husband - Jesse F. Eller

BIOGRAPHY: Franklin Township 1884

BIOGRAPHY: This is a re-production "History of Cass County"
By --- THE CONTINENTAL HISTORICAL COMPANY
December, 1884 EARLY SETTLEMENT - The first to make a settlement was Jesse ELLER, who, early in the spring of 1854, took up a claim on sections 18, and commenced to open up a farm. He broke forty or fifty acres , and put up a round log house. He lived on this place until about 1874, when he removed to Mills County, and from thence to Pottawattamie County, where he died, June 18, 1884. He was born in Wilkes County, North Carolina, and was of German extraction, although he was reared in Indiana. He was quite a hunter and trapper during the winter, but when spring had come, the gun was laid by, and the implements of husbandry were taken hold of with a will, and in a few years he had a good farm opened on the northeast corner of Turkey Grove. During the civil war, times were very hard, money scarce, and the comforts of life very high . Mr ELLER made more money than any other man in the vicinity, trapping and hunting mink, otter, wolves and other fur animals. A good mink skin was worth from three to five dollars, and other furs in proportion . The first birth in the township was that of a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse ELLER, born during the summer of 1854. The first ground in the township was broken by Jesse ELLER, in 1855, and the first wheat was raised by him the same year.

General Notes: Wife - Louisa Marion

Apparently, Jesse left Louisa, as he moved away from Cass County about 1874. She died in 1877, and although he was still living, there is no mention of Jesse in the settlement of her estate after her death.

Petition for Letters of Administration for Estate of Louisa Eller, by her son W. W. Eller states that Louisa Eller died 24 Aug 1877, and that at the time of her death she was a resident of Cass Co., Iowa. She died intestate, and she had personal property and real estate of approximately $2,500. The petition was dated 27 Aug 1877. Her seven living children were listed as her heirs: Avy [?], Talitha B[?], W. M. Elle r, W. W. Eller, Mary E. Larue, Sarah C. Stovall [?] and Seigle [Sigel ] Eller, on petition signed by W. W. Eller in settlement of Louisa Eller's estate.
