The Cherokee Advance 6 Mar 1885 p 3
Mrs. Minerva Ellison a lady who had been confined in jail for some time on
account of extreme poverty, and without relations or friends to care for her,
died on last Thursday and her remains was interred in the town cemetery early
Friday morning, without any sort of exercises, attended by only a few, and
unobserved by many.  During her sickness she was visited by only one or two and
the only attention she received was from Mrs. Curtis, wife of our Deputy
Sheriff, who, with her many other household duties, was no doubt oftentimes
compelled to neglect her.  She was an object of pity and th (sic) own upon the
cold charities of a friendless world no doubt suffered very greatly mentally and
physically, and neglected in her spiritual training.  We do not know whether or
not she was prepared to die, but trust she was and that her soul has been
received into a warm and loving embrace by her Savior who died for all.  The
25th chapter of Mathew is applicable to this case--read it.
