The family moved to Kansas and for awhile Mr. Ellis attended the Kansas Agricultual College at Manhatten. Later he went west and came to Nebraska, settling near Harrison in Sioux county, where he was a highly esteemed neighbor and citizen. In conversation with J. H. Newlin of "The Harrison Sun" we learned that Mr. Ellis was as well liked and as popular there as he has been in our county. He held the office of county surveroy of Sioux county and was the nominee for county commissioner two years ago in this county, getting nearly every vote in his neighborhood and running ahead of his ticket in the county, though he made no effort to get votes whatever. He was married Dec. 28, 1892 to Miss Ells Morgareidge, next oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Morgareidge, then living at Simeon, Nebr. Mr. Ellis came to Cherry county seven years ago and has lived at Simeon since, during which time he conducted the Simeon store and kept the post office, and from which he retired May 1st to go onto his homestead north of Simeon one and one-half miles where he had built a temporary house to live in until he could build a dwelling which he was preparing to build and was surveying the line between his place and the Hobbs' place when he was struck down by lightning, Wednesday afternoon, May 31, 1905, his watch stopping at 2:17 and was partly melted from the intense heat. A number of Woodmen of Valentine lodge, of which Mr. Ellis was a member, went out to attend the funeral last Friday and assisted in conducting the funeral, Rev. Holsclaw preaching the funeral sermon in the yard at the Ellis home. Neighbors and friends congregated from miles around and seldom have we seen a larger gathering upon a similar occasion in our city. Mr. Ellis' mother and sister, Mrs. Deuel, and L. L. Wilson, a half-brother, came down from Harrison to attend the funeral. A friend and neighbor has gone from among us. We won't meet him again as we have in the past, a cheerful man carrying sunshine with him wherever he went. Quoting Judge Walcott in part in a brief address delivered at the grave after conducting the Woodmen ceremonies, "We are all of us better for having met him and known him." His life has not been in vain though the cruel hand of death has taken him away from his wife and five boys, his brothers, sisters and his aged mother at a time when it seemed that he was most needed. His life has truly been an inspiration to all who have been associated with him or met him in his daily walk. Mr. Ellis provided well for his family in life. He provided for them also in case of his death. He carried $2,000 insurance with the M. W. A. and $1,000 in the New York Life. OBITUARY From the Valentine Democrat Married 12/28/1892 Valentine, Sioux Co Ne to Anna Luella Morgareidge
