Lavora Naylor m'd John Ellis. She is deceased. ================================================================= Page 857d- Dr. Ellis died in the Indian Territory July 10, 1898. =================================================================== July 4, 1898- Independence Day observed at Weston. Grand rejoicing over our glorious victories at Santiago. Burnes, Beller, Hull and others spoke. The news from Manila and Ladrones added luster to the day. But the day ended in gloom at Weston for Algie Gwin was killed by and accidental shot from Gentry Ellis. =========================================================== I bought my copy at the PCHS/Museum over the weekend, the last weekend it was open until next April. I believe it can be bought from another source but don't remember where she said. The phone recording refers you to someone who can tell you. I will not put her number here.
