    One of the central characters in Frances T. Howard's book, "In and out of the Lines", a biography of the Howard family of Kingston, Georgia during the final year of the Civil War. Ella, who was named "Nellie" in the book was a woman of amazing strength of character. She is quite possibly the model used by Margaret Mitchell upon which she created Scarlet O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind".

    Unfortunately, she met with a tragic death in 1896 when she fell from a runaway horse and buggy in Atlanta.
