Ella

For completeness, I'm posting two obituaries for Ella Garner Taylor, mother of Luella Taylor Waddell. She died on 29 August 1930 in Keansburg, New Jersey, at the home of her daughter. The first obituary states that she was born in New York, but based on my other research I know she was born in Harrison County, Indiana.

Red Bank Daily Register, 3 Sep 1930

The obituary above also notes that Ella had considerable property in New York, and an estate and orange grove in Sharpes, Florida.

The second obituary states that Ella was one of the first beach property owners in Granville Park, New Jersey.

Keyport Enterprise, 4 Sep 1930

News of Ella's passing made it into the newspaper in Cocoa Beach, Florida, where she lived for many years during the winter in Sharpes, Florida.

Florida Today, 18 Sep 1930.

In 1932, Luella conveyed the property owned by her mother to the Borough of Keansburg, and it became incorporated into Keansburg Beach Park.
