Life

Ella Frances McKinney was born in Alabama on 25 February 1862, a daughter of Eli Harris McKinney and Martha Holland Willingham, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 The federal census of 1870 listed her, as "E L McKinney," in her father's household at Socapatoy, Coosa County, Alabama.2 The census of 1900 still found Ella McKinney, under her maiden name, in the household of her father, Harris McKinney, in Coosa County.3

She married Malcolm Patterson McDiarmid; the tree dates the marriage to about 1889, without a source.4 That date is hard to reconcile with the census of 1900, which found her in her father's household under her maiden name and M. P. McDiarmid in the household of James S. Elder at Reeltown, Tallapoosa County.5 Inference The 1900 census suggests that the marriage took place after 1900, not about 1889; the tree's date is unsupported, and a marriage record is needed to settle it.5 The tree records an infant McDiarmid who died in 1902.6 In 1920 the census listed Ella F. McDiarmid in the household of Malcom P. McDiarmid at Socapatoy, Coosa County.7 Her husband died at Kellyton, Coosa County, in August 1938, and the Alabama death index for him names her as his wife.8

Ella Francis McDiarmid died at Goodwater, Coosa County, on 10 April 1941.9 An Alabama index of deaths and burials, dated 11 April 1941, records her under the spelling "McDearmid" and names her father, Harris McKinney, and her husband, indexed as "W P McDearmid."10 The tree gives her burial on 11 April 1941 at "Shilow, Hillsborough, Florida Territory," a place that cannot be right for a woman who died in Coosa County in 1941; Find a Grave and BillionGraves index her grave as that of Ella Francis McKinney McDiarmid.11 Inference The tree's burial place is very likely a mis-standardised "Shiloh," the Coosa County church cemetery where other members of the family are buried, though this awaits the grave record itself.11
