 Bainbridge Post-Search Light, Thursday, 5 Apr 1928, p. 1. The entire 
community was shocked and grieved to hear of the tragic death of Mr. 
Ellis A. Cartledge, on Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock from paralysis. He 
was born October 24, 1906. Saturday night he seemed as well as usual, had 
not complained and was at the home of Miss Ethel Alphord, when suddenly 
he began acting queer and upon being questioned said that he had a pain 
in his head and a few minutes later said that he must have an attack of 
indigestion. Miss Alphord soon saw that he had a stroke of paralysis. He 
had a convulsion and became speechless. She notified his father and he 
carried him home. He was desperately ill and late Monday afternoon had 
another stroke and began sinking rapidly. He never spoke again after the 
first stroke. He leaves mother, father, one brother and one sister 
besides other relatives and friends to mourn his passage. Ellis was 
indeed a lovable young man, was kind and all who knew him loved him. He 
was devoted to his mother who has been an invalid from paralysis for 
almost two years. ... [Loc. cit., but a different column.] Card of
