Ella Fisher working new Colusa
This article suggests that Ella and children may have left Orville Fisher as early as 1914. Colusa here is Colusa IL, located near Dallas City IL about 20 miles from her previous home with Orville in Blandinsville. By 1920 Ella and children have removed to Rice Ce o., KS. That she is writing to the Blandinsville Star-Gazette to apprise them of her whereabouts suggests she retained friends in Blandinsville after leaving Orville. Given Orville's many alcohol-related criminal activities including the the attempted rape of 5 y/o Ester Bailey in 1906 for which Orville served three years in the Men's Penitentiary in Fort Madison IA, one imagines Ella's was a very tragic and sympathetic figure in Blandinsville and well supported in her leaving.
