Ella Gertrude Parson was born January 29,1879 in Gwinnett county, Georgia and died October 15,1977 in Craighead county, Arkansas. The story I was told was that she was married to a Dr. Jenks in Georgia. That her father had the marriage annuled and they moved to Arkansas. It is then said this Dr. came after her but she had already married. In looking into this I did find 2 Dr. Jenks both of the same family. so i have found the Jenks family but not sure which of the sons were the father of Guy. It has also caused wander if there ever was a marriage to the Dr. at all. After she came to Arkansas she married Fielding Hurst Lakey. He was born October 8,1862 and died March 27,1922. Both are buried in New Hope Cemetery, Craighead county, Arkansas. Ella had a total of 8 children.
