hi here's a few more fun facts surrounding Ellie

so the Maxwells had been pretty well off during the depression but shortly after having Susie on March 1st, 1934, they lost all their money for *insert reason here* and so they decided not to have any more kids, even though Winston really wanted a son, but then they made a little oopsie (Ellie)

once they realized Agnes was pregnant, they went to Arthur, who 'blessed' Agnes to have a son

spoiler alert they didn't have a son

also another thing they didn't join the cult until Susie was like three or four so she wasn't born into it unlike Ellie
