Blanche Evelyn Ells Fitch



Born 4 July 1871 at Brooklyn, Kings County, New York
Died 1 March 1961 at Walton, Delaware County, New York

Blanche was the daughter of Nelson Irving Ells and Evelyn Zilena Butler Ells. She was raised at Brooklyn where her father was a bookkeeper. Blanche married to George Sinclair Fitch on 19 November 1902 at Brooklyn. They made their home on Mead Street at Walton where her husband was a merchant. Blanche and George were the parents of two children, Alice Evelyn Fitch and Agnes Miriam Fitch. Blanche was a member of First Congregational Church of Walton and a member of the Mary Weed Marvin Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. She had been in failing health after breaking a hip several months before her death. I believe she might have died at Delaware Valley Hospital at Walton. Blanche was buried next to her husband at Walton Cemetery. She was the wife of my third cousin three times removed.
