Leona Chellis, nee Chellis 1927
I bought an antique ukulele from a shop in Independence, Missouri, and found a message glued inside the body.
"Made especially for Miss Leona Chellis Xmas 1927"
It also bears a maker's mark: No 44 LD.
I'm looking for information about the original owner, or her descendants. I've tried public records and assorted genealogies, but it appears Miss Leona did not remain a miss. Does anyone have a grandmother Leona nee Chellis who was fond of the ukulele?
