Later he accepted a position as agent for an agricultural supply company, in which capacity he served for twelve years, his territory being the entire state of Penn- sylvania. The following five years he was a resident of Butte City, Mon- tana, but, life in the eastern portion of the United States being prefera- ble to his tastes, he returned to Chester county, Pennsylvania, and again took up his residence in his native township of West Nottingham.

Ellis Pusey, son of John Wardle Passmore, was born August 4, 1823, at East Nottingham, Chester county, Pennsylvania. He settled early in life on a farm at Reynolds Mills, Cecil county, Maryland. In 1852 he bought a farm near the Octoraro Forge in the same county and cultivated it until 1865 when he purchased the old Passmore homestead on Octoraro creek, which he sold after living there one year. He then bought a large dairy farm about midway between Rising Sun and Northeast, Cecil county, where he resided some years. Afterward he removed to Rising Sun village, and became a dealer in phosphates and agricultural implements. When a young man he gave zealous support to the anti-slavery movement when to be an Abolitionist was to invite social ostracism and unpopularity. At one time he entertained Frederick Douglass, a negro, who had been a slave, and the editor of the local newspaper denounced him for allowing " a nigger to sit at his table on terms of equality." In replying to the attack, Mr. Passmore took occasion to say that while he found in an encyclopedia of "Eminent Men of the Times" the name of this "negro" he failed to find there any mention of the editor. Mr. Passmore was also a believer in total abstinence and earnestly supported the temperance movement. He was a man of strong and decided character, opposing any unjust encroachment upon individual rights and liberty. In 1893 ne removed to Butte, Montana, where he spent his last years.
