Death of Miss Caroline Ellis
Miss Caroline Ellis died at about
5:30 o'clock on Monday
afternoon, after lying in bed for eight days from injuries sustained from a fall from a
hay mow. Her death was quite unexpected, as her friends thought she was recovering
nicely. She was seventy-four years of age, was born in Port Rowan, and lived here all her life
with her mother who still survives. It does not fall to the last of many to live with a
parent for more than three score years and ten as Miss Ellis has done. In this respect as
well as in her faithful administration to her aged mother, she was one among
many. She led
a simple, homely life concerning which there is little to tell, save that she sincerely
strove to do her duty. She was a member of the Baptist Church and a faithful christian. --
