DEATH OF THREE
----------
Well-Known and Highly Esteemed
Citizens Last Night and To-day
----------
[Introductory paragraphs speaks of all three men.] ...Thomas S. Ellis,
ex-Justice of the Peace, breathed his last at the residence of his
mother-in-law, at about two o'clock this morning.... Squire Ellis
was suffering from the effects of the prevailing disease, La Grippe, and his
never strong constitution, weakened by sickness contracted in the army, could
not throw off its deadly hold. His last attack occurred only about one
week ago, and he daily grew worse until an early hour this morning, when death
put an end to the sufferings of a popular gentleman.

SQUIRE THOMAS ELLIS
Perhaps no gentleman in
this city enjoyed a wider acquaintance or was more popular with all classes than
jovial Tom Ellis. He was for years a familiar figure on our streets, and
his business and social relations were such as to endear him to a large number
of people. His friends saw in him much to admire. Fearless in
denunciation of all wrongs to humanity, he was good natured and light-hearted,
and invariably espoused the cause of right in every material interest of those
friends. Hypocrisy and deceit were traits which he was particularly severe
upon, and whenever he discovered their presence he avoided persons disclosing
them as he would a pestilence. But with his family and those nearest him
he was all that a loving husband and father could be. His merry laugh and
cheerful face will be sadly missed.SQUIRE THOMAS ELLIS
Deceased came to this city from Indianapolis quite 24 years ago, and attached himself to the firm of J. M. Randall & Co.'s, produce and grocery house. He was born at Wellsville, Ohio, Jan. 6th, 1839. In July of 1872 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Randall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Randall, of this city. One child, a son, blessed the union, Richard Randall Ellis, who with the widow survive him. His mother and a brother reside at Zanesville, Ohio, and a sister lives at Washington, D. C.
