If you are looking on the findagrave site for Oakland Cemetery in Centerville, someone has made a mistake there on findagrave. Two Jesse Ellis graves are listed. There should be only one.
One is listed as Jesse M. Ellis who was born January 13, 1813 and died August 23, 1881 with wife Nancy (Willis) Ellis. Memorial ID 176227602; This is WRONG.
The correct Jesse Ellis is:
Jesse M Ellis, born 1823 in Kentucky and died August 13, 1881. Memorial ID 158474458; This is CORRECT.Someone also probably thought Nancy's maiden name was Willis. It is likely that it was Ellis and not Willis per my previous post which documented the marriage in Indiana.
Nancy Ellis died on June 4, 1892 and is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Centerville, Appanoose County, Iowa.
I cite Jesse's obituary for proof that he died August 13, 1881 and NOT August 23, 1881.
