Notes: Born Grace A. Rhoads. Ellison's birth year is listed as 1888 in the 1900 United States Census, 1896 on her death certificate, and 1899 on her gravestone. However, she appears in 1895 Minnesota State Census, listed as seven years of age, so the 1900 U.S. Census appears to be accurate. Ellingson began working with the Minnesota Industrial Commision in 1942 and was a senior labor investigator at the time of her death. She previously served as Hennepin County Republican Committee Chairwoman.
