"Farmington, Me., March 30, 1895.--Jonathan Scott Ellis died here this afternoon at the age of 101 years and 8 months. "He retained his faculties to a remarkable degree until his death, which was hastened by an accident a few weeks ago. While preparing a razor to shave himself he fell on the floor, injuring himself so that he was confined to his bed. "It is more than 80 years since he had required a physician to attend him."
