ELLIS, ZACHARIAH T.
(14 Dec 1922, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Z. T. Ellis was born at Columbus, Miss., Jan. 12, 1847, died at Erick,
Okla., Dec 7, 1922, at 1:15; Age 75 years, 10 months and 26 days.  Mr.
Ellis has lived in or near Erick for the past 20 years, where he is known
by practically all our citizens, as being an honest upright citizen.  When
a young man he joined the Confederate army and fought for the cause he
thought was right.  His record as a soldier was above reproach and his
life after he was discharged from the army was lived as only a good
American can, treating all with due respect.
He leaves one daughter, Mrs. W. O. Moore and one sister, Miss Laura Ellis,
and Grand children who have the sympathy of our entire community.
He united with the Missionary Baptist Church in 1905.
The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church on Dec. 8th,
and the remains were laid to rest in the Erick cemetery.
One by one the old boys are called to answer the roll call in a far
distant land, where rest and peace is waiting for us all.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank the many friends, who assisted us during the last days of
our father, Brother and Grandfather who died Dec. 7th.  We shall always
remember you for the kindness and help shown us.
W. O. Moore and family.
Miss Laura Ellis.
Elbert Ellis.
