"THE DEATH of George B. Ellis, Esq., at his residence, in this place, on 
Saturday night last, though not unexpected by those familiar with his 
condition, was a startling surprise to very many of his friends and 
acquaintenances when the sad event was announced on Sunday morning. Mr. Ellis 
had been in his usual health until a few weeks since when he began to complain 
slightly of enlargements about his neck, which so little attracted his 
attention that he did not regard it important to have medical advice. Within 
the past two weeks, however, the glands involved so rapidly increased as to 
produce serious alarm in the minds of his friends and medical attendants as to 
the ultimate issue. Within a few days of his death, all hope of recovery or 
relief was abandoned on account of the malignant and extensive character of the 
disease. 'Twas indeed a sad spectacle to see a strong man in the full exercise 
of his faculties doomed to certain death, with a disease baffling all efforts 
for relief and gradually and rapidly encroaching upon the vital functions, ans 
which finally terminated in death.

"Mr. Ellis was well advanced in years, having reached his sixty-sixth year, and 
had by energy and prudence amassed a handsome property. He was an exemplary and 
active christian, and a constant attendant upon the services of his church. As 
a citizen he was greatly esteemed and by his immediate friends held in warm 
affection. As a father and husband he was tender in his attachments and 
faithful in his duty, and his loss will be sorely felt. The funeral services 
were conducted by Eld. N. G. Terry, in the presence of a large concourse of 
relatives and friends, at his late residence, on Monday evening, at 3 o'clock, 
after which his remains were committed to the grave near the scenes of his late 
life. May his soul rest in peace."
