Obituary:^[2] ELLIS, H.K. - Hindsville, Ark., July 26 - Mr. Editor: Will you please give me space for a short write up of my husband who departed this life April 10 at 4 o'clock a.m. H.K. Ellis was born Jan. 22, 1842, came to Arkansas in 1859 from Georgia. He serviced 4 years in the Confederate army, was married to Susan Lane Oct. 5, 1865. Was converted in Sept. 1867, was a devoted member of the Free Will Baptist church until death and was a deacon in the church for many years. To this union was born nine children, seven of whom are still living, all present but two, and T.N. Ellis who live in Beaver Co., Okla. He seemed to realize that the end was very near and all that appeared to worry him was his children that were not prepared to meet him in the great beyond. He was a great worker in the Sunday School and church. S.L.
