He was born on the farm where he now resides, in 1867. The Ellis family has been in America since Colonial times. His great-grandparents were Rowland and Frances (Breadwater) Ellis. Rowland Ellis was born in Virginia and served as a soldier in the American Revolution. For his military service he was granted a tract of land at Guilford Court House, North Carolina, but sold it without occupying it. He lived out his life in old Virginia. His son, Thomas Ellis, was born near Moorefield in Hardy County, in what is now West Virginia. As a young man he moved west to Cincinnati about the beginning of the nineteenth century and acquired 160 acres of land, part of which is now incorporated within the city limits of Cincinnati. From Cincinnati he moved to Dayton, Ohio. He served as a soldier in the War of 1812. During the administration of President Andrew Jackson he came to Indiana and entered an eighty acre farm in Lauramie Township, Tippecanoe County. He also entered eighty acres of prairie land. Thomas Ellis married Elizabeth Stoner and they had a family of twelve children, named John, Mahalia, Joseph, Hannah, Mary, Frances, Sarah, James, Barbara, Eliza, Ann, and Elizabeth. The parents of Reuben Wade Ellis were John and Harriet (Lambkin) Ellis. Harriet Lambkin was born in Kent, England, John Ellis was born in Montgomery County, Ohio, but spent most of his life in Tippecanoe County, where he died in 1894 and is buried in the Concord Cemetery. He was a teacher, a farmer and stock man, served as a justice of the peace, and was a real and trusted leader of his community. He and his wife had six children; Mary A., who married Ennis Coe, Martha K., Reuben W., William J., one that died in infancy, and Florence M. Reuben Wade Ellis acquired his education in the local schools. When he was only thirteen years of age he began to take most of the responsibility of running the farm. His mother had died and his father was in poor health. Later he spent about a year in California, working in the lumber business, and for a time was in the real estate business in Chicago. Otherwise his active years have been devoted to his Tippecanoe County farm. Mr. Ellis married in November, 1895, Rose Nalley, daughter of Simon and Helen (McLean) Nalley. Her father was from Pennsylvania and her mother was born in Indiana of Maine parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis have six children; Harriett, wife of Reid Paddock and mother of two children, named Mary R. and Phillip J., Miss Helen F., Miss Florence, Mary, wife of Willis Loveless, Martha, wife of Lawrence Rice, and John R. Mr. Ellis has served on the township advisory board. For many years he has handled pure bred live stock, and in recent years has specialized in the production of seed corn. His farm products have been exhibited at fairs and have won ten gold medals. Mr. Ellis have been a commercial salesman.
