Elledge was born in Pike county, Ill., March 8th, 1857, and died at his home about 6 miles north of Walnut, Kansas, November 20th, 1907, aged 50 years, 8 months and 12 days. He was married to Mary C. Brown of Pike county, Ill.,August 29th, 1878, and to this union were born five sons, Earnest E., Joseph E., Albert G., I. Lloyd, and Jessie D., All were at home at the time of his death. One brother also. Early in life he gave his heart to the Lord Jesus Christ and honored his cofession with a nobled christian life. He was a member of the Walnut Christian Church at the time of his death. He endeared himself to every one who knew him by his quiet and meek disposition, and those who knew him best pronounced him a man of strict integrity. Few men were more kind in their home than he was, and while we mourn for one who has departed this life, we do not mourn as they who have no hope, for he being dead yet speaketh and his works do follow him. J.P. Childs, pastor of the Christian Church at Walnut and Hepler, Kansas, preached the funeral taking for his text Matthew 5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. He said in part, first, the prospect of seeing God was soul inspiring. Second, the certainty of seeing God. Third, the ample time and perfect plan of salvation, giving us not only time, but a perfect plan to see God in the city of God where no parting can ever come. For God is love and loves us in sorrow as well as in joy, and wants us to see him and assurs our souls of the certainty of seeing God, in the light beyond, as soon as we are prepared. He farther said I am not here to discourse to the dead, but to the living, that we may be prepared to see God in all his glory. Not to speak of the graces of the departed loved one. He already had written on the tablets of the hearts with whom he came in contact by his word and life, more perfectly that words could tell. But to lift the shadows of gloom from us by the inspiring words of God in the text and in Isiah 33:17, Thine eyes sahll see the kingdom in his beauty they shall behold the land that is very far off. Also, in Revelation 2:10, Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life. For they shall see God. The friends of the deceased sang as a closing song, "We WIll Never Say Good Bye in Heaven." The Masons, of which order he was a member, then took charge of his remains, and laid him to rest in the Walnut cemetery, with their usual services. (Walnut Eagle)
