James Tracy Ellis was born in
Devenshire, England, December 9th,
1872 and died in Audubon, March 9Th
1908, aged 90 years, = months and ~
days, When twenty years of a~e he
shipped for Americas as cabin hoy Uud
landed in Boston. In 1851 he started
for California via Panama but stopped
on the isthmus eight months and help
ed to build the rail road.
Upon his return he came west and
settled in Belle Plaine, Iowa, and
lived twenty five years in Benton and
Tama counties, Moving west again
in 1878 he settled in Audubon, where
he finished the marvellous span OF life
that was allotted to him.
In the spring of 1910 he took Miss
Mary Truesdell in holy wedlock. This
union lasted % years when death

of twelve children, four of whom, one
daughter and three sons, arc still live

union was born four sons aud one
daughter, the daughter aud two sons
are still living.
Being u blacksmith by trade, his
life was, OF necessity, one OF hard

he became janitor of the court house
and served faithfully for twenty years.
Being native of England he was
reared in the Church of England and
continued in that faith until So years
of age when he became u member OF
the Christian church and lived worthy

last hours of life, even in great sui

trustful prayer that was truly inspir-

mourn his death.
The immediate cause of his death
was an injury received about the mid

was, by his request, held ut his late
home on north Tracy street. His pas

Our readers will notice the formal
announcement in this issue of X. n.
Carper for the nomination of Sheriff
of the county, subject to the decision
of the republican county convention.
Col. Carper, as he is called, is the
well known and successful auctioneer.
He is noted in that profession, last
year being vice-president of the state
association of auctioneers. He is an old
resident of Audubon county, having
lived here twenty-seven years. He has
lots of friends over the country and he
desires that his thanks be expressed
to the public for the generous way
they have assisted him. For several
years Mr.. Carper was the efficient
town marshall of Audubon. Now he
is steward of the poor farm and has
been successful in his management OF
it. He would no doubt make a good
sheriff.

Tom Davis announces in this issue
that he is a candidate for the
republican nomination for sheriff.
Tom is a genial and popular man, a
man of good character and would be
if nominated, a creditable candidate
for the party and good officer for the
the county. He was for many years a
citizen of Viola township, but recent
ly moved to town. Several years ago
he made the race for sheriff when the
party margin was small, and lost.
His friends think he should be given
another chance. His loyalty to the
party is unquestioned.

Ross. His personal friends are scat

man of integrity and is good citi-
zen. He has given the county excel
lent as sheriff, proving an efficient
officer and economical to the county.
His first term was not profitable to
him. He is loyal republican and
deserves good treatment at the party's
hands. He is q good voter getter and
if renominated will be all right as a
candidate and an officer.
