ELLIS, HUSTIN
Alexandria Weekly Town Talk, 16 Feb 1884

Fatal Accident. - Last Tuesday (Feb. 5th) two men named Hustin Ellis and 
Josh Duplissa, who were cutting timber on Cocodric Lake, this parish, met 
with an accident, which was fatal to the one named Ellis.  It seems that 
they were rowing a skift along the shore of the lake, when Duplissa who 
happened to look up, saw that a large tree was about to fall upon them.  
He screamed out the danger. and at once jumped out of the boat into the 
water,thereby escaping death and receiving ony slight wounds.  Ellis was 
not quick enough and the tree fell on him killing him instantly.
