General Notes: Husband - James Ellis

---

As his father was in humble financial circumstances at the time of his death, his children were placed in the homes of neighbors by whom they were reared. On attaining his majority, James Ellis learned the cabinetmaker's trade, in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and afterward went to Ligonier, Pennsylvania, where he worked as a journeyman, and while there he became acquainted with the lady whom he made his wife. Later he removed to Madison, Pennsylvania, where he opened a shop, and in 1856 he went with his family to Indiana, but finding that fever and ague were prevalent in the state at that day, he returned to Westmoreland County, after two weeks spent in the middle west. For a brief period he lived in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, and then went to Greensburg, while in 1858 he opened a mercantile store in Ludwick, now Greensburg, at the corner of West Ottoman and Hamilton streets. There he carried on merchandising until 1895, when he sold his business and retired to private life. In early manhood he gave his political support to the Democracy, but in 1856 joined the new Republican party, which in that year placed its first presidential candidate in the field, and continued one of its supporters up to the time of his death. He held membership in the First Presbyterian church.
