Sarah Ellen Todd Blose was the daughter of John Hearon Todd & Edna Viola Lingenfelter Todd. She was the granddaughter of James George Todd & Barbara Ann Roxby Todd & Andrew Harrison Lingenfelter & Margaret Sarah Hoch Lingenfelter. Her siblings were: Robert Odell Todd, John Andrew Todd, Paul Bernard Todd, Janet Adelaine Todd Mahan, Blaine Earl Todd, Louise Hearon Todd Benson, and Vira Todd Bines.
--------------------------------------
Ellen was a homemaker who raised 13 children. She loved all of them and the spouses they included in her family. She especially loved all the grandchildren and lavished everyone with hugs and kisses whenever she could. That's why everyone insists THEY are Mom's or Grandma's favorite!
-----------------------------------------
Ellen was born at home and said that there was never a birth certificate filed for her. Despite searches, one does not seem to exist. Ellen always hated her name Sarah spelled with the 'h' on the end even though she was named after a grandmother she loved. Ellen also insisted that her name was Ellen Sarah, not Sarah Ellen. She swore her siblings to secrecy and without a birth certificate, it was hard to say which way it is. However, she signed her marriage license as Sarah Ellen Todd. Also in that document, she added a couple of years to her age so that a parent would not have to sign for her. In later years, Ellen dropped the Sarah from her legal name and went by Ellen Todd Blose.
