The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, April 2, 1931

Mrs. Adolphus A. Ellis, 82, widow of A.A. Ellis, former Ionia attorney and 
attorney-general of the State of Michigan, died Wednesday evening at her home 
in Grand Ledge.  Mrs. Ellis has been critically ill for the past week and for 
some time had been in failing health due to the ravages of age.

Mrs. Ellis was born near Grand Ledge and lived for many years in Muir and in 
Ionia, where her husband practiced law.  She was prominent in Ionia church and 
social circles and was a talented artist, many paintings of child life and 
pastoral scenes bearing the impress of her art.  She was associated with Mrs. 
H. B. Webber for many years in her art work while a resident of Ionia.

Mr. and Mrs. Ellis owned the home now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Fred S. Howard on 
East Main street.  Their two sons, George and Howard, who grew to manhood, 
both have preceded her in death.  Surviving are a brother and a sister, Newton 
A. Nichols and Miss Vine Nichols, of Grand Ledge, and a brother, George E. 
Nichols, of Ionia; two grandchildren, Holmes Ellis, a student at the 
University of Michigan, and Enid Ellis, of Grand Rapids, the children of 
Howard Ellis.

Funeral services will be conducted at the home of her sister in Grand Ledge, 
332 East Jefferson street, Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Interment will be 
made in Highland Park cemetery, Ionia.
