Other names for Nellie: Nellie Sellars, Nellie Irene Sellers.

Nellie was born 28 Sep 1894 in Nebraska. She died 31 Dec 1920 in Winfield, Cowley Co., Kansas from chronic pulmonary tuberculosis. She was buried 7 Jan 1921 in Winfield State Home Cemetery, Winfield, Cowley Co., Kansas.

She has been identified with the Nellie Sellars found on FindAGrave #72253988 but that appears to be a different individual given the dates on the grave marker.

Her death certificate lists her step-father, William Henry Sellers, but not her mother.

Nellie had a learning disability and, in 1917, was placed in a State Home in Winfield. She lived there for about three and half years before her death.

Nellie never married.
