April 7, 1910 - The Newell Mirror - Nelson Willard Ellis son of Wellington and Polly Rounds Ellis was born at Sugar Grove, Warren Co., Pennsylvania, August 3, 1858 and fell asleep in his Savior at Laurens, Ia., Sunday morning, April 3, 1910, at the age of 51 years and 8 months.
In 1860 Mr. Ellis moved to the state of Wisconsin where he lived until 1879 when he moved to Newell, Ia., where on April 13, 1831 he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie May Tibbitts.
Two daughters were the issue of this happy marriage, Beatrice and Bessie. Bessie is now Mrs. E.E. Bruce, of Rolfe, Iowa, Beatrice the eldest daughter died in 1900. Mr. Ellis has gone to join his daughter and others who have gone before. It is a very large and happy company of "the spirits of just persons made perfect." Mr. Ellis united with the Church of Christ at Laurens, Ia., a short time after his moving here, about 17 years ago. He lived in its communion and died in "The Faith," without a shadow upon his name.
The deceased leaves to mourn his loss, besides his wife, mother, daughter and son-in-law, one grand-daughter, Beatrice Bruce of Rolfe, Ia., one sister, Mrs. Wm. Hunter, of Newell and two brothers Mr. James Ellis and Chas. Ellis both of White Lake, S.D.
And now for awhile husband, son, father, brother, grandpa, friend, we must say "good-bye." Over your grave, will bloom fair flowers and around it will sing sweet birds, but sweeter than any song and fairer than any flower, to us is the thought of your life, and the hope of meeting you beyond the shadows, where there shall be no more parting.
The funeral was held at the Church of Christ on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Dr. E.J. Nickerson. After the service, the remains, followed by a company of sorrowing relatives and friends, were conveyed to the Newell cemetery where the American Yeoman took charge and with a brief service laid the body to rest by the side of his daughters in the Newell cemetery to
await the resurrection morn when their eyes shall open upon a new and everlasting day. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."
