She was born on 19 July 1896 in
Illinois, USA.

2,1 A Chella Van Petten was an actress in a silent film made in 1913 called "Hiawanda's Cross". I suspect she is this Chella but I have no other data to support the assumption in 1913. She married
John William Maloney on 13 November 1917 in

Maloney were divorced before 1940.
5 She died on 12 February 1987 in
El Paso, El Paso, Texas, USA, at age 90. SSDI reports the date as 15 February but that is incorrect since her obituary appears in the paper on February 14th.
6,7 She was buried after 12 February 1987 in
Masonic Cemetery, Las Vegas, San Miguel, New Mexico, USA. Chella's plot was located in Section O Row 3.
