Harriette e. ellison, 1S37-1915
The day was cold, dark and
dreary a seeming gloom had cast it's
shadow over our little village for the
sad news had found it's way to every
Preside, "Grammie'' Gibson had
passed away, the end had come, an
other had been added to that vast
throng who have silently and peace
fully taken up their onward march
into the great beyond.
Harriette E. ellison was born in
DanVille, Dec. 10, 1887, and lived
until her 18th year. A daughter of
