....On last Wednesday morning at about two o'clock, death came to the rescue, and took Father Ellerson home. For over a year the old gentleman was a terrible sufferer from a cancer on the face; but he was wonderfully upheld in all his trials by an abiding trust in his Redeemer. Asa Ellison was born in Virginia in 1806, moved to Iowa in the spring of 1836, was converted in Henry county, Iowa in 1844, and united with the M. E. Church, of which he lived a faithful and consistent member until death. He was buried from the Evangelist Church. Rev. Evans preaching the funeral sermon....
