Ellas, 89, formerly of Manhattan, Kan., and Licking County, will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at University Christian Church, with Dr. Kenneth Cable officiating. Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. in Liberty Cemetery, Upland, Kan. Mr. Ellas passed away Monday, April 14, 2008, at his home in Temple, Texas. He was born Feb. 1, 1919, in Licking County, the son of Wilfred B. Ellas and Carrie (Schaffer) Ellas. He grew up on his parents' farm, the second of four children. He graduated from Granville High School in 1936 and soon was inducted into the U.S. Army. World War II took him to Fort Riley, Kan. It was during his tenure at Fort Riley that he met A. Josephine Brown of Junction City, Kan. They were united in marriage March 20, 1943, at Junction City, before Allen was deployed with the 20th Armored Division to France and Germany. After the war, the Ellases farmed for 12 years in the Chapman, Kan., area and were members of Sutphen Mill Christian Church. He then worked for the Federal Civil Service at Fort Riley and moved the family to Manhattan. In 1973, Allen took early retirement from the civil service to take the position of director of planned giving for the Manhattan Christian College, where he worked until his retirement. While living in Manhattan, he attended Crestview Christian Church and later became a founding member of University Christian Church. There, Allen served as elder, taught Sunday school and chaired the building committee. He and Josephine helped found The Federation of Handicapped Citizens in Manhattan, served on the Big Lakes Development Center Board, was a member of Lions Club International, volunteered as a bus driver for the Manhattan Senior Center, and was a member of NARFE and Friends of the Sunset Zoo. Allen and Josephine moved to Temple in 2000 to live closer to their daughter, Carla, and her family. They became members of Grace Presbyterian Church, where he attended the Better Bunch Sunday school class, OWLS and the Men's Group. For the past five years, Allen had been a resident at Meridian Retirement Community. Allen was married to Josephine for 58 years and was preceded in death by his wife Sept. 23, 2001. He also was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Norman Ellas; one sister, Marjorie Dixon; and his youngest daughter, Gayla Charmaine Ellas. She was a special-needs child whose memorial fund helped start a special-needs nursery school in Manhattan. Survivors include his daughter, Carla Ellas Stanley, and her husband, Dr. William Stanley; their daughters, Amber and Heather Stanley; a sister, Mae Eloise Dietzel, of Johnstown; a sister-in-law, Ruth Brown Upham Tyson, of Raytown, Mo.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
