Glasgow (KY) Weekly Times, 9 June 1897
"In Memoriam. A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MISS MOLLIE ELLIS, DAUGHTER OF MR. AND 
MRS. C. T. ELLIS.

"Departed this life May 9, 1897, at the home of her parents, C. T. and Sabria 
Ellis, in the fourteenth year of her age. Just budding into young womanhood, 
the life of the household, ever busy and cheerful, the comfort of a mother, the 
pride of a father, and the joy of a brother and sister - she died. What hours 
of care and painful anxiety and vigils and prayers and hopes and fears 
arecontained in that brief sentence. May God pity the stricken parents. None 
but they, who have stood by the death-bed of a darling child, can tell the full 
measure of their grief their hearts are desolate and feel as though a pall of 
night were upon them. Though seated by their fireside with loved ones still 
around them, they miss one bright, sunny face, and think of a grave on which 
their tears have fallen, and where the storm beats, the sun shines and flowers 
bloom and fade. But - blessed be the name of the Lord! - they sorrow not as 
those who have no hope, for early in life she gave her heart to her Savior and 
united with Dover Baptist Church, with which congregation she remained about 
two years and being too pure for earth the Lord called her to join the church 
triumphant above. With these reflections, and brother and sister though heart, 
stricken and their loss irreparable on earth take comfodrt and submissively 
say, "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the 
Lord." Oh! wondrous Gospel that meets mourners at the graves of loved ones and 
re-echoes in their hearts the words, "I am the ressurection and the life," and 
bids them anticipate the reunion of the spirit with the body now mouldering to 
dust. Farwell, dear Mollie! We cherish the hope that we will one day meet you 
in the Heavenly land where parting with our loved ones shall be no more. Her 
laughing voice made all rejoice Who caught the hapy sound; There was a gladnes 
in her every step, As it lightly touched the ground. The echoes of voice and 
step are gone; There is silence still and deep; Yet we know she sings by God's 
bright throne, then wherefore do we weep" 

"One who loved her."
