Death of Eliza Jane Ellis
Eliza Jane Ellis was the oldest child of Robert and Malinda Wasson Moore, and was born in Marion township, Mercer Co., Mo., February 14, 1843. In March 1863 she was married to Joseph R. Duncan and to them were born three children Sarah Hampton, Robert Duncan and Ida Keeley. Her husband was killed in a saw mill October 1867, and after being a widow of about seven years she married Charles Ellis and to them were given three sons: Burton, Harry and Oscar. Two years of her life was spent in Nebraska and since her return has lived part of the time in the township of her birth, but in later years her home has been at Morgan Center, Decatur County, Iowa. At that place, after an illness of about a year, she died July 27, 1909, at the age of 66 years, 5 months, and 11days. In her tenth year she lost her mother by death, but her father, husband and all her children survive her. She is not known to have been identified with any church organization but she held the principles and institutions of religion in respect and her natural kindness of heart and sympathy with those in trouble is remembered by many of those who had practical evidence of her gracious disposition. The funeral services were held at the Elm Chapel on the Lineville and Pleasanton road, July 28th to a full house of mourning relatives and sympathizing friends and neighbors. The address was by Elder Duncan Campbell of Pleasanton, Iowa, Brethren C. E. Morey and J. M Fenton assisting in the exercises. The burial was in the Elm graveyard where loving hands strewed her last earthly resting place with beautiful flowers.
