General Notes: Husband - James Vance Evans Ellis

---

He received his education in the public schools of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and spent his youth on his father's farm. He learned the trade of carpenter, taught school for a time, and was variously employed up to 1880, when he came to Uniontown, where he was for some years in the employ of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. In 1888 he established a bakery which he conducted for many years. Politically Mr. Ellis was a Republican of pronounced Prohibition sentiments. He was from February 1, 1895, to April 1, 1896, editor of "The Peoples Tribune,'' the Prohibition organ of Fayette County, and after an interim of two years, during which he had no connection therewith, became its editor and publisher. He was the Republican nominee for register and recorder in 1884 and was defeated, the county being strongly Democratic at that time, and was a member of Uniontown council in 1895-96.
