Funeral services will be held at the Macy Christian church at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon for Jasper Ed ELLIS, 79, who was killed late yesterday morning when his car was struck by a Nickle Plate freight train at the Macy crossing.
Burial will be made in the Plainview cemetery and the body will be taken to the home at seven o'clock tonight, when friends may call.
Ellis was enroute to the grain mill at Millark when the accident occurred. The crossing is on a grade, and it is supposed that he failed to see the approaching train until too late.
He had lived alone near Macy since his wife died last September.
Survivors are one son, Clarence ELLIS, Macy; one brother, Charles ELLIS, Decatur; and two grandchildren, Robert ELLIS, Fort Wayne, and Martha ELLIS, Macy.
