WHO IS ELLIE you ask? If you've ever wondered who Ellie's was named after, this is your history lesson for the day.

Ellie was the typical housewife of her time, married to Chet Johnson, raising two sons, David and Bruce, and two daughters, Louise and Mary. Ellie was a great cook, and thought nothing of entertaining 20 or 30 people at a sit-down dinner all without the benefit of a dishwasher! Chet wore a freshly-starched white shirt to work every day, which Ellie painstakingly washed and ironed. A hand-tied bowtie was one of Chet's trademarks.

Chet and Ellie were both very active in the community- Chet was involved with the Amery Community Club and church. Ellie was very busy with the Amery Women's Club, and was the Sunday School Superintendent for many years.

In the 1940's, the couple took flying lessons, and became instrumental in forming the airport near Amery. Ellie's sense of humor was well known, and a good cigar would occasionally be smoked (even though she claimed to be a non-smoker)! She supported Chet in business, and they both were active in the Wisconsin Pharmacist Association and it's Auxiliary, serving on respective boards of organizations.

If you are old enough to remember Ellie, you certainly remember the wonderful woman she was!
