Arthur F. Ells

Arthur Fairbanks Ells (December 17, 1879 – December 8, 1963)[1] was a justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court from 1940 to 1949. He also served in the Connecticut State Senate in the 1920's as a Republican, representing Waterbury, Connecticut.

Born in Norwalk, Connecticut to George Nelson and Lucy Ann Fairbanks Ells,[2] he graduated from Amherst College and Harvard Law School and died in Litchfield, Connecticut.

On April 27, 1939, Governor Raymond E. Baldwin nominated Ells to a seat on the state Supreme Court set to be vacated in May 1940 by the mandatory retirement of Justice George E. Hinman, a position he served until 1949.[3]
