Democrat and sentinel: (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866: August 06, 1856
On Friday night last, at 12 o'clock, Mr. John Ellis, of this place, at the advanced
age of almost 93 years. The deceased was born in Swanage Dorset, Isle of Purbeck,
England, on the 10th of October, 1763. For almost thirty years he was a resident of
Johnstown. Some two years ago Mr. Ellis received an injury from a fall, and has been
confined to his bed almost ever since. Surrounded by children and sympathizing
friends, he descended to the grave as a shock of corn fully ripe. He long outlived
the generation in which he was born, and at last borne down with the ever increasing
infirmities of old age, he sleeps with his fathers. His death was as gentle as an
infant's sleep, and gave hope of a glorious resurrection.
