Ella Eldora Lightfoot
- Born: 4 October 1906, Burlington, IA 1
- Died: 4 October 1906, Burlington, IA 1
- Buried: After 4 October 1906, Aspen Grove Cemetery, Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa, United States 1
 General Notes:
There is confusion about the two daughters Ellen and Ella. Researcher Karen Puga indicates that her grandmother was Ellen Louise Lightfoot and that she was born in 1911 and died in 1999. The younger sister, Ella Eldora Lightfoot, was born and died in 1906.
What helps create the confusion is that the 1920 US Census shows the one daughter with the name of Ella instead of the expected Ellen.
