Paralytic Stroke Fatal
to Prominent Civil
War Veteran
Was MAGISTRATE HERE
Refused Nomination for
State Auditor in
1888

Captain Ellis A. Billingslea. rs
years old, G. A. R. veteran and a
well known citizen of Marion coun.
ty, died this morning at 9:20
O'Clock at Cook hospitaI, where he
had been taken week ago Tues.
day suffering with complications
following an attack Of influenza.
Captain Billingslea had been in
failing health for some time and
the attack of the influenza only az.
graEated his condition. An exam.
ination at the hospital revealed the
fact that he had been suffering
with a cancer of the liver for some
time.
Captain Bulingslea might have
lived a month or two longer, the
physicians in attendance think had
he not been the victim OF q paralytic
stroke last Monday afternoon.
His widow, Mrs. Alice .Zerley
Btllingslea, said this afternoon that
Captain Billingslea never spoke
again after the stroke on Monday,
Death came peacefully to the vet
eral Of the Civil war. His wife, who
had been at the hospital night and
day. was at his side when he passed
away.
Since January /, 1921, Captain
Billingslea had been a magistrate
in the Marion county court house
and his diligence In the conducting
of this office may have been one
OF the reasons for his physical
breakdown.
During the years, OF 1924, in,
elusive, Captain Billingslea served
as assessor for Marion county. and
In 1888 he refused the nomination
OF the republican party for state
auditor. 20 M.
! Despite his adv ancad years, esp3
tain Billingslea walked erect and
with a firm brisk step, and none
would suspect that he mad passed
the three score and ten period in
life.
He is survived by his widow and
one sister, Mrs. Ellen Buckingham
Of Toledo, Ohio. No arrangements
had been made for the funeral al
3 o'clock this afternoon.
i The body was taken to Captain
Btllingslea's late home in Monroe

these are intended for wear in the pri-
