ELLIS, Sarah Ann Moore - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Hillsboro, May 23 - Mrs. Sarah Ann Ellis, 79, widow of the late James Ellis, died on Tuesday night at 7 o'clock.

Shortly after the Civil War she was married to James Ellis and most of their lives were spent on a farm south of Hillsboro until a few years ago when they moved into town. Mr. Ellis preceded his wife in death in 1917. The deceased is survived by one son, Alva of Hillsboro; two daughters, Mrs. Ada Ridge of Guthrie, OK and Mrs. Gerty Pitman of HIllsboro; two brothers, James Moore of Hillsboro and Alva Marion Moore of Dakota and two sisters, Mrs. Watson of Danville, Ill and Miss Amanda Ellis of Hillsboro.
