Can someone please help to find her children?
Ellen was born October 12, 1903 in Hendrum, Norman county, Minnesota and was in a relation with 2 men, Wesley Miller and Henry Edward Ronfeldt. Both from Iowa.
I am wondering how many children Ellen had and which father they eventually had?

Here is a family tree with Marie Ellen Mjoness and Henry Ronfeldt and some of their children:
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/KCP8-3YB
In this tree there are two sisters one who married Miller and the other who married Ronfeldt. I doubt that this is true, having two people in this family to cover, since in no census including parents and siblings are the two together. |

Wesley Miller, Sr in FAG:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185592107/wesley-miller
Wesley's obituary at FAG says he married Ellen Mjoness in 1941 and that she died in 1956. However her headstone reads 1959.
So the son Orlin Miller is also a child of Ellen's. Here is his FAG:

There is an obituary for Mrs. Wesley ( Marie ) Miller in the index at the Norman county Minnesota page:
