            7) Ellen Shutter - born (___) (likely Todd Co, MN)*
                    died by Dec 1930; 
                    married?; children?

            *  Ellen is clearly mentioned in her mother Margaret's obituary as being deceased.  It states one son and two daughters - Charles, Myrtle and Ellen died before Margaret (in Dec 1930).  Ellen does not appear in any census, nor can she be found in MN birth, death or marriage records. In the 1900 and 1910 census, Margaret (Ellen's mother) states she has had 6 children, with all 6 living. Ellen was either (1) born after the 1910 census or (2) born and died between censuses and Margaret didn't state 1 child dead in the 1900 or 1910 census or (3) there was a typo in the obituary, and they possibly meant to state children Charles and Myrtle Ella/Ellen had died. Margaret is 50 in the 1910 census when she states 6 children/6 living, so the most likely possibility is that the obituary is in error. We have posted this speculation for others with more specific knowledge to verify or dispute.
