The Valley Falls Vindicator

Jefferson County
Wednesday
September 3, 1941

Carrie May SNYDER, eldest daughter of Olive and John Snyder, was born near
Atchison, Kans., January 17, 1870, and departed this life August 30, 1941. She
was united in marriage to John C. ELLIS, June 13th, 1890. To this union were
born six children, three dying in infancy and a son, Glenn, who died in 1930.
Those who remain to mourn her loss are her kind and devoted husband; a daughter,
Mrs. Coral KEENER, of Topeka; one son, Ross Ellis, of Holton; three
grandchildren, Lloyd Ellis of Fort Logan, Col., Georgia Mae Keener, of Topeka,
and Joyce Ellis of Holton. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. John HILL, of
Tucson, Ariz.

After her marriage, Mrs. Ellis resided in Nemaha county for a number of years,
later moving to Jackson county. In the spring of 1910, she, with her family,
moved to a farm near Valley Falls and since 1918 has made this city her home.
Early in married life she became a member of the United Brethren chuch, later
transferring her membership to the Methodist church in Valley Falls. She was an
earnest Christian, always ready when her health would permit to devote her time
and energy to the cause of Christ. She was a Sunday school teacher and also
president of the Gleaners class for a number of years, always a faithful
attendant at church services whenever it was possible for here to be there. A
kind and loving wife and devoted mother has gone to her reward. 

The funeral was held from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev.
Clark preached the sermon. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs.
Harry Needham, Mrs. Leslie Dial, Mrs. Lloyd Hatfield, and Mrs. John Sennrich
with Mary Elizabeth Conerus at the organ. Pall bearers were Wm. F. Garbe, A.H.
Conerus, Bert Booth, Harry Needham, Harley Troth, and O.J. Pugh. Burial was in
Farrar cemetery.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank all those who helped in any way during the illness and death of
our loved one; for the beautiful flowers, the consoling hymns and the comforting
message of Reverend Clark.
John Ellis and Family.
