Ellis, a Prominent Hopkinsville Man, Expires Suddenly Hopkinsville, Ky., August 28--Forrest L. ELLIS, President of the ELLIS Ice Co., dropped dead this morning at his factory. He was superintending the loading one of the ice wagons, and suddenly complained of a suffocating sensation in his chest and sat down on a bench. As assistant walked into the factory and just as he got inside the wagonman called to him that Mr. ELLIS had fallen to the ground. When assistance reached him he was found to be dead. Mr. ELLIS was one of the most prominent business men in the city. He was formerly in the milling business, but of late years had conducted a big ice factory. He was fifty years old and leaves a family. His wife was Miss JAGOE, of Madisonville. He leaves a large estate. He was a director of the Hotel Latham, and prominent as a Republican leader.
