Joel Sylvester (Julus S.) Eades

According to information contained within his Death Certificate:Joel Sylvester Eades aka Julus S. Eades was born 25 January, 1860 in North Carolina (most likely Iredell County). He was the son of Alfred Eades and his first wife, who at this time appears to have been named: Mathusha McDaniels. See my note at the bottom of the listing for Alfred Eades for more information on my current theory as to who his mother really is. The death certificate goes on to state his date of death as: 25 July, 1944. His wife`s name is listed as: Ellen Eades.

Now, lets create a timeline for Joel and note that these are in no particular order.

I decided to begin with the 1920 Census which is the first one I came across that listed Joel. At the time this census was taken Joel was 62 years old and his year of birth is listed as 1858 in North Carolina. He is listed as being widowed. He is living in the household of one William Aldrich and wife Cora.

I was able to track down a Death Certificate for Joel`s wife, it appears as though he often went by the nickname:Jule Eads. Here is the info gleaned from his wifes death certificate:

Ella Ellen Eads
Age 39
Born: 4 March 1867 somewhere in Missouri
She was 77 yrs, 7 mos, 24 days of age at the time of her death.
She was a Housewife
Her Parents names were not listed and unknown.
The informant was listed as: John Waller
She is listed as being Widowed
She died 28 October, 1944 in Piedmont, Wayne, Missouri
Cause of Death: Pneumonia, Influenza, Aortic Stenosis
Buried at: Mill Creek MillSpring Cemetery 

More Information Coming Soon!!

   Ok, so it appears as though the above Ellen must have been a second wife for Joel. As he states in earlier census records that he is a Widower and given the fact he never appears in any census I have found with a wife, I have come to the conconclusion that he must have married a second time after the latest census record I have in 1940. He died in July of 1944 and then this wife Ellen passed away in October of that same year so they could not have been married long.
