Mrs. Edmonds died of consumption after a lingering illness of several months, which she bore with Christian resignation. All the womanly virtues enshrined in her heart, for which she was endeared and beloved by all who knew her, shone forth conspicuously and radiantly, during her long illness and at the hour of her departure, pain and anguish were unheeded, in prospect of a glorious immortality.
Farewell to thee, dear loved one,
   Thy days of grief are o'er,
Earth has one saintly dweller less,
   And Heaven an angel more.      H. M.

W. C. Ellison, Former Judge, Dies in Texas
Funeral For Well-Known Maryville Man Will Be Held Here Thursday.
Was Brilliant Lawyer. Judge Ellison Came of Family of Jurists—Son Is Now A Judge On Missouri Supreme Court.
William C. Ellison, for fourteen years judge of the fourth judicial district and a practicing attorney in Maryville since 1879, died at 8 o'clock this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ike Thomas Pryor, at Fort Stockton, Tex., according to information received here this morning by friends of the family.
The body will be shipped to Maryville for burial. Judge Ellison's son, George Robb Ellison, one of the justices of the Missouri Supreme Court, will meet the family in Dallas and accompany them to Maryville, expecting to arrive Thursday.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the First Christian church by the Rev. Willard M. Wickizer and the Rev. H. D. Thompson. Burial will be in Miriam cemetery.
A BRILLIANT LAWYER.
Judge Ellison died one month after the death of his wife, whose death was attributed to pneumonia. For several years Judge Ellison has been in failing health, but until he went to Texas after his wife's death, he was able to be out and took daily walks.
Word was received here last week that the Judge was ill and information here today was that he was suffering with influenza.
The late judge of the fourth judicial circuit was considered a brilliant member of the local bar. He came from a family of jurists as his father, James Ellison, who was a resident of Lewis county, was judge of the old fourth circuit in Northeast Missouri. His father also was a member of the state senate and curator of the University of Missouri. W. C. Ellison's brother, Andrew Ellison, resided at Kirksville and was circuit judge in the twenty-seventh circuit for eighteen years. Another brother, James Ellison, was judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals from the time it was established for a period of about thirty-six years. Another brother, George Ellison, was judge of the probate court of Lewis county.
Was Born in Canton
A writer in the October issue of the Missouri Historical Review in recounting the history of the Ellison family said: "I think it is safe to say no such judicial record can be found in any other family in Missouri."
W. C. Ellison was born in Canton, Lewis county, Missouri, on October 1, 1853. His mother's maiden name was Martha Cowgill. The youth of W. C. Ellison was spent in attending school and upon making a choice of the practice of law as a profession he commenced reading under the direction of his father. He was admitted to the bar in 1873. He practiced for a while in East St. Louis and came to Maryville in 1876, where he formed an association with S. R. Beech.
Is Appointed Judge.
Mr. Ellison later formed a partnership with John Edwards which terminated with the death of Mr. Edwards in 1888. In 1886 he was elected prosecuting attorney and served one term. He continued to practice alone, officing, however, with J. S. Shinabargar until he was appointed judge of the fourth judicial circuit in 1903 by the late Governor A. M. Dockery.
He was appointed to the vacancy left by the resignation of the late Judge Gallatin Craig, who had to quit the bench on account of illness. He was elected to this office in 1904 and re-elected again in 1910, serving until January 1, 1917. He left the bench to continue in the practice of law until a breakdown in health forced him to retire.
Judge Ellison returned to Canton shortly after he came to Maryville and was married on October 7, 1880, to Miss Laura Lucas, who died last month.
Judge Ellison is survived by a son, Judge George Robb Ellison of Jefferson City; and one daughter, Mrs. Susan Pryor, Fort Stockton, Tex.
Judge W. C. Ellison was the last of the Ellison family that migrated from Kentucky to Northeast Missouri. His three brothers and his two sisters, Mrs. S. E. Poulton and Mrs. Annie Sharp preceded him in death.

On last Saturday, May 9th [[April 9th, the Grim Monster, Death, claimed as its own, Mrs. Amanda Ellsworth, wife of Ham Ellsworth, who resides three and one-half miles southeast of Maryville. She had been sick but one short week and was thought to be in a fair way to recover, but alas! the slender thread that binds life to earth snapped and her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her. She leaves a husband, one child, father, mother and many sorrowing friends to mourn her loss. Her maiden name was Amada [Amanda] Milligan. She was married to Mr. Ellsworth about 13 years ago and they lived happily together until her demise.
Grieve not for the loved one, husband and father, but place your trust in Him who is ever ready to help bear the burdens of this life and to whom thy dear companion has made her way.
