ELLIS, J.J. - Died at Belle Point hospital in Fort Smith at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 17th, J.J. Ellis of this city. Mr. Ellis, who is a traveling man by profession, has been in poor health for some time but last week was taken dangerously ill at the hospital at Ft. Smith. His wife and sons were notified and were all there at the time of his death. J.L. Ellis of Oklahoma City reached him the latter part of the week and Roy, who was out on his run as mail clerk between Kansas City and Springfield, went to Ft. Smith with his mother on Monday. The immediate cause of death was pneumonia. The remains were brought to Rogers on the 6 p.m. train Tuesday evening and funeral services were held from the home one mile west of town this afternoon at 3 p.m. Rev. Wheeler of the M.E. church conducted the service. Mr. Ellis was in attendance at Emory and Henry's college in Virginia at the time the war broke out and enlisted in the Confederate army as lieutenant of a company of school-boys. He served throughout the war as adjutant on Longstreet's staff. He was married in 1874 to Miss Kate Lowrey. The deceased was 62 years old at the time of his death. The Ellis family came here almost five years ago from Springdale to make their home with Mrs. Ellis' parents, Rev. and Mrs. Lowrey. Mr. Ellis' business kept him away from home the greater part of the time and is not personally known to many of our people but the many friends of his family extend their deepest sympathy to the wife and two sons who are called upon to mourn his loss.
