Noted by grand-daughter Donna Wiggins Collins:  "Ellis and his wife Myrtle Stancil died on the same day, only minutes apart, in the hospital at Cullman. He had been ill for a long time and my Father had been taking care of him in Birmingham. When he became too ill, he was taken back to the hospital in Cullman. When he passed away, his wife, who had been saying all along she couldn't live without him, leaned over and kissed him goodbye and fell over dead herself."
