Sister Beatrice Ellis departed this life Tuesday, October 15,1925, at 8 p.m. She 
was a faithful member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, where she was secretary of 
the Sunday school. She was well-known and highly respected in the community, and 
was a student at Booker T. Washington High School. Among those attending her 
funeral were teachers and friends of both Booker T. Washington and John T. West 
schools.

Her funeral was conducted October 16 at 2:30 o’clock. The funeral procession

the beautiful resolutions and testimonials coming from the many friends and 
schoolmates and other interesting remarks, many in the audience were made to 
feel the value of living a Christian and worthwhile life.

amidst a shower of flowers. The following persons and organizations gave
