| Text | Died Jan. 10th, John M. Ellis, an old citizen of Ozark township, at his home in Clay Hill settlement. Mr. Ellis was known all over Southwest Missouri as old "Uncle John". He was born in McMinn Co., Tenn., June 3rd, 1833, and resided there until manhood, and was married to Hannah Maples whom he leaves to mourn his loss. He and his family moved to this state in the year 1852 and stopped in that part of Greene County now known as Christian, where they resided about eight years, then moved to Barry County where they have since resided. Uncle John raised five children, who are all residents of this county, three boys and two girls. He was converted to Christianity in his young days and has traveled that road ever since, being a prompt member of the Methodist Church until death. Uncle John never had an enemy on this earth that is known of. Just think of it, good people, how many of you to-day can say that you have not an enemy on this earth? Augusta. |
