  Notes	We have a letter from Ella's father John Anderson to her cousin James H. Anderson, outlining their genealogy.According to a story about her ninety-first birthday which seems to have appeared in the Belle Plaine Gazette: Mrs. [J. D.] Blue was born Ella Anderson, a daughter of John and Martha Anderson, at Marion, Ohio. She was graduated from the Marion high school the year the Civil War broke out. It was her ambition to attend college but as her brothers joined the army she was needed on the farm. She taught school for five years before her marriage to J. D. Blue on Aug. 15, 1867. They came immediately to Belle Plaine, which was Mr. Blue's home. In 1878 Mr. Blue opened a store which he operated until 1893 when the Belle Plaine fire swept away the store and contents. After this, Mr. Blue went into the insurance business which he followed until his death in 1930. Ella was called "Moner". She was a tiny woman. http://tinyurl.com/nlu2k
