Rev. Ambose Ellzey

  25 Oct 1929 - Monday, just before noon, Rev. Ambose Ellzey
succumbed almost immediately after a pile had pinned his brest to
a fence post near Mt. Carmel.

  Rev. Ellzey was riding a truck loaded with piling and it seems
that his lunch bucket was slipping as the truck rounded a corner
to go thru a gate, the minister was riding a top of the piling
and as the bucket slipped he reached for it and was swung off his
seat between the pile and the gate post. The truck was being
driven by a Mr. Coburn of the Mt. Carmel community, who
immediately called for help but the time the piling was removed
the preacher has expired.

  Funeral services were conducted at Mt. Carmel by Rev. H. T.
Isgitt Tuesday amid a large congregation of friends and admirers.

  Deceased was a minister of the Nazarene faith, was well known in
Sabine parish as an apostle of his creed, was a devout and
conscientious teacher, living by example of his teachings.
