Although over one month has pass
ed since the announcement of the
death of Mr.. Q. s. Ellis, the shock
attendant upon the receipt of the
news and widespread grief and gen.
eral regret at the passing OF this act
i've and useful man has not lessened.
The family members upon arrival at
the old home place here were met
by general out pouring Of sympathy
and by the extension of innumerable
lkindnesses and attentions on the part
of almost every one, attesting the high
regard in which deceased was held in
this community Although the great.
er part of his time in more recent
years has been occupied in other
places, time was when practically
every man woman and child In the
town was on speaking terms with
Mr.. Ellis and can to-day recount some
special favor. a kindness, a pleasant
salutation by him extended. The fact
that Mr.. Ellis, in turn had never
ceased to regard Oskaloosa as the
one real home place, the home to
whfths he fully intended to return
when respite should come from bust
ness activity, demonstrates his es,
TEEN and regard for former associ
ates and friends. In the death OF Mr..
Ellis many suffer an individual loss
and the place he occupied in the bust.

prominent as his office remains un.
