1. ↑ "ELISHA B. ANCELL DEAD--Elisha B. Ancell, one of Howard county's best known and most highly respected citizens, dropped dead from heart failure at his home near Myers on Dec 27. His family and friends were totally unprepared for the blow as he was in his usual vigorous health, although he had complained of not feeling well for a day or two prior to his death. Mr. Ancell was born on December 27, 1848, within one mile of the farm on which he died. He was united in marriage on May 21, 1868, to Miss Martha Bailey, who died some fifteen years ago. They were the parents of five children all of whom are living, viz: Mrs. Lee Manion, McMurray, Wash; Mrs. A. G. Dougherty, Clark; Leonard Ancell, St. Louis; Mrs. Lee Lynch and Miss Nannie Ancell of Howard. He was a member of the Church of Christ, with which he had been identified for over 40 years, and at the time of his death was an officer in the church at Mt.. Pleasant. Interment was made in the family cemetery a short distance from his home. In his death the county and community have lost an upright citizen, his neighbors a friend and his children a loving and indulgent father, and they have the sympathy of all in their bereavement."
