Rev. Ambrose Ellzey

  22 Nov 1929 - Rev. Ambrose Ellzey of Florien, La., was born
April 13, 1883, and departed this life October 21, 1929, being
killed by a truck, dieing instantly. He was 46 years, 6 months
and eight days old.

  On November 23, 1905, he was married to Miss Lula Thaxton, with
whom he lived consistently until his death. To this union were
born eleven children, three boys and eight girls, though one boy
preceded him to the Glory World.

  He united with the Missionary Baptist church and entered the
ministry while a young man and after having preached for about
nine years in the aforesaid church he was led into the blessed
experience of Perfect Love, which doctrine and experiences he
faithfully advocated by precept and example till he was called
home.

  His prayers, tears, and money had great part in the building of
Cenchrea Church of The Nazarene in which church he was an elder
when he died. To say that he will be missed by his devoted family
and many friends is saying it too mildly for truly he was a good
husband, father, citizen and preacher.

  His funeral was one of the saddest ever attended by his winter
being attended by a very large crowd of loved ones and
sympathetic friends.
