KINGSLEY: (Special Correspondence)
DIED-At the home of his parents, seven miles south of Kingsley, Ira, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William Ellis, aged about twenty-seven years.

For a long time Mr. Ellis had been the victim of that dread disease,
consumption, and for many months his death has been expected hourly.
While it seems hard for one so young and full of promise to be taken
when so much was opening before him to be done, and a mind so active and
hands so willing to do, yet to him has only fallen the common lot of man
and what we must all come to sooner or later. The remains were interred
in the Rock Branch cemetery.
