TUMOR THE CAUSE
Death of Mrs. Orilla Ellis, a Pioneer Resident
   Mrs. Orilla Ellis died yesterday at the family residence, corner Broadway 
and Thirty-first streets.  Mrs. Ellis has been suffering for several months 
with a tumor on her face, which has been troubling the old lady the past 
year.  Her suffering has been almost unendurable at times, and on numerous 
occasions she has begged her folks to kill her that her suffering, which she 
knew would result in her death in the course of time, might be at an end at 
once.  Th past two weeks she has been entirely helpless and death came to the 
old lady as a sweet relief from her prolonged suffering.  Mrs. Ellis has 
resided in Bay City 34 years and has lived at the present old homestead for 25 
years.  She was 79 years old and leaves a daughter and son.  The latter has 
been a county charge for some time at the poor farm on account of being blind 
and crazy at times.  Mr. and Mrs. Ellis removed from near Cleveland to this 
city 34 years ago and were old pioneer residents of this city.  She was born 
in Troy, N.Y.  Her husband, Mr. Ellis, died four years ago at the ripe old age 
of 86.
   The funeral of Mrs. Ellis takes place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the 
Fremont avenue Baptist church.  The remains will be laid to rest in the family 
burial lot in Pine Ridge cemetery.
