Ellis Delmar Corrick
Ellis was born while his father served as a Union soldier in the Civil War. Immediately after marriage to Annie, they took a homestead in Western Kansas. After proving their claim, they moved to Mitchell County, Kansas. They returned to Corricksville in 1902, where they lived until Annie's death. As a farmer, Ellis owned a section of land besides his cattle and mules. He built a store next to his south road which was prosperous many years until it burned. The hall above the store was used for many activities, including Odd Fellow Lodge. Ellis donated about 10 acres of the north side of the farm for a cemetery (Bethel). There was a baseball diamond in the pasture southwest of the house and, weather permitting, up to 200 people attended baseball games on Sunday afternoons.
Ellis died in a fire at the house after suffering a stroke. His obituary notes a half-sister, Mrs. Berry of Kansas City, Missouri and half-brothers: Jess Morrow of Hoxie, Kansas; Charley and George Morrow of Morton, Iowa.
