Anne Ellis (1875 - 1938) was an American author and local official who wrote two memoirs[1] chronicling her life in Colorado coal mining camps and her struggles with asthma including at sanitoriums. The University of Colorado awarded her an honorary degree and has a collection of her papers.[2]
She covered subjects including cooking for a telephone gang, sheep shearing, race relations, Native Americans, county politics, and equal rights conventions in her writing.[3]
Her face is among those included in a tile mural created by Barbara Jo Revelle in 1989 at the Colorado Convention Center.[4] As of 1996[update] the Saguache County Museum in Saguache, Colorado had a display on her.[5]
