Wife of C A
Anna may have her name on the tombstone in Calhoun, but there is no death date for the simple reason that she left Kentucky for Colorado in 1915.

Annie, as she was known, was born to a welsh miner who worked the Muhlenberg Drift in western Kentucky.
In 1891 she met and married Charles A. Ellis from McLean County. Charles traded in horses and worked a farm just south of Calhoun along Yellow Creek. She and her husband managed to buy a number of properties in and around McLean and Daviess Counties. Together with Charles's younger brother, James Hardin, the three of them were buying and selling hundreds of acres for the next seven years. after James's death in 1898 they moved into town where they owned a number of city lots in downtown Calhoun. Her husband Charles died from pneumonia in April 1902. There is a family story that he saved some boys from drowning a month earlier. She bought another house the day she buried Charles. She then called Charles F. Mann in Weld County, Colorado. I am uncertain of their relationship at this point, but it was such that Charles, now also a widower, left his boys in an orphanage and headed east to Kentucky. Annie remarried in 1903, at the home of her sister-in-law, Mary A. Brackett.
By 1905 the family moved south of Calhoun to Livermore. In 1908 she had the first of three children by Mr. Mann, Dolly D. Mann. this followed in two years with Nellie M. and two years later with Henry Mann. Their house on Second Street is just yards from the Green River and has been rebuilt after the 1937 floods. In 1916 the family packed up and moved to Denver, Colorado. There is some evidence that Annie and Charles A. Ellis had bought a large stand of timber before Charles's death. settling in Denver, Annie suffered the second death in her family. Little Henry Mann, age 8, drowned in the Platte River.
One thing that is notable is that the entire family moved to Colorado, James Hardin, older brother Guy Thomas Ellis, and married oldest sister Mary Elizabeth Ellis, now Mrs. Byron Morehead. for the rest of Annie's life she had a good piece of her family living in the big house on Williams Street. Mr. Jesse Mann remembers her chewing tobacco and spitting in the fire. My father, Tommy and Uncle Jimmy remember her having money for the family even in the depths of the Depression. She was handsome woman and is recognizable by her large ears that stuck out. A photograph of her and her husband Charles A. Ellis survives. It shows a handsome, strong couple.
