History of Buffalo County and it People -Bassett(1916) Vol. 2 page 75-76 Thomas Ellis who carries on general agricultural pursuits on Section 24 Shelton township,was born in Dubuque county ,Iowa,on the 2d of March,1862,his parents being Edward and Mary (Loomis) Ellis.The father was probably a native of the United States,although his parents came from England.The mother was born in Erie county,Pennsylvania,and became the wife of Stephen J. McKee,with whom she came to Nebraska in 1865.She lived for a short time in Hall Coonty,and afterward removed to Buffalo County.Mr. McKee died in Hall county in 1878,Her Third husbband was William Fines,who died about 1891.Mrs. Fines survives and now resides in Shelton. Thomas Ellis was three years of age when brought by his mother to Nebraska,and was educated in the district schools but attended for only a part of three terms.He began farming on his own account in 1881,when he put in his first crop,but in that year he raised more foxtail than he did in wheat and he worked all the following winter on the section in order to pay his bills.In the spring of 1882,he went to Coloado,where he was employed through the summer in a stone quarry at Lyon's.In the fall he again came to Buffalo County and the following spring resumed farming.In 1887 he purchased the Ash Way farm in Shelton township of one hundred and forty acres and later brought an additional tract of Eigthy acres,but during the widespread financial panic of 1893,like thousands of others,he was unable to make his payments upon his property.Therefore he again had to resort to renting,but in the spring of 1898 he once more made a financial start that enabled him to purchase two hundred and twenty-three acres of his present farm.He has since resided thereon,concentrating his energies upon the futher development and improvement of his place,which is pleasantly situated on section 24'Shelton township.He concentrates his efforts upon the cultivation and development of his fields and as the years have gone byhas made changes which have transformed his place into one of the ezcellent farm properties of the county. On the 28th of March,1885,Mr. Ellis was united in marriage to Miss Julia Spicer,of Hall County,Nebraska,by whom he has seven children,as follows;Glen amd Harvey,both at home; Bertha,who is the wife of Charles Ketner,of Shelton Nebraska; Adrain; and George,;Clarence and Grace,all yet under the parental roof. In politics Mr Ellis is independent,voting for men and measures,rather tha party.Fraternally he is identified with Shelton Lodge,No.141,I.O.O.F.,and Shelton Lodge No.92,K.P.He has a wide acquaintance not only in the lodge circles through other connections and is regarded as one of the substantial business men and representative citizens of Buffalo county.
