ELLSWORTH C. ELLIS

South Side Barber Dies Suddenly at His Home on Division Street

Ellsworth C. Ellis, the south side barber, popularly known as "Doc" Ellis, passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at 8:40 a. m. Saturday as the result of acute jaundice. The deceased had been in poor health for upwards of a year and experienced a long illness last summer and was again taken sick about the first of September and had been confined to his bed almost continuously for the past seven weeks. He suffered from kidney and liver troubles and complications. Since his boyhood he has also been subject to frequent serious attacks of chills and fever, which in recent years have recurred with greater frequency and severity. Although Mr. Ellis had been in poor condition for so long the end was not expected at this time. He was conscious to the last and all day Friday was bright and cheerful and took a lively interest in everything going on around him and in conversation. He was restless during the night and toward morning his physician was called. Soon after his arrival he laxed into a faint and soon passed away. Mr. Ellis was born in Berlin, Wis., on Nov. 14, 1863, nearly 44 years ago, being a son of George and Lucy Ellis. The father, who was a stage driver running between here and Berlin, moved to this city when Ellsworth was about five years old and they remained here about three years. Mr. Ellis then left for the west and was never heard of afterwards. The mother and children were left in destitute circumstances and from that time to this Ellsworth made his own way in the world. He sometimes remarked that he last saw his father when he was riding away on horse-back and he waved back to the boy and said "Well good bye, Ellsworth! Be a good boy." Those who know of Mr. Ellis's early struggles and his latter successes in life will agree that he followed that injunction pretty straight. In 1888 at Milladore he married Miss Emma Shidel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shidel, who have since become well known residents of the east side. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis came to Stevens Point that same year and he was employed for a time in the Al Reistad's shop at the south side. Later he was a partner of C. Haase for a few months but for the past sixteen years has conducted his own shop at 1200 Division street, near the Wisconsin Central station and had living rooms in the rear. Mr. Ellis was a very sympathetic and kindly disposed man and was generally popular and deservedly so. He would do almost anything to help or accommodate a friend. He has for many years taken a prominent interest in religion and church work and was a liberal contributor to and regular attendant at St. Paul's M. E. church. His interest in church work however, was broader than denominationalism and his support could be counted upon in any movement toward the betterment of society. Besides his wife, his mother, Mrs. Lucy Ellis, and two brothers and a sister are left to mourn. The daughter, Mrs. Lindeaux and his mother reside at Kaukauna and the brothers Irvin at Oconto, and Dr. Oswall Ellis, formerly of this city, whose present address is not known. The funeral was held from St. Paul's M. E. church Monday afternoon at 2:30, Rev. C. F. Spray officiating and the interment following in Forest cemetery.

AFTER A LONG ILLNESS

Ellsworth C. Ellis, a South Side Barber, Gone to His Long Rest Funeral Monday

E. C. Ellis, whose serious condition was mentioned in last week's issue, passed away at his home at the South Side at 8:40 o'clock Saturday morning. Mr. Ellis had been in poor health for the past year or more and during the summer was ill for some time. He was able to be about, however, and look after his business as a barber, but the first part of September was again compelled to take to his bed and was confined therein until the end. On Friday he seemed more cheerful than usual, conversed with those about him and others who called, but during the night he was quite restless and in the morning, soon after the family physician arrived, the patient relapsed into a comatose condition and quietly passed away. Death was directly due to acute jaundice, the result of kidney and liver troubles and other complications. For a number of years he had also been subject to attacks of chills and fever and these attacks had been more frequent during the past year. Ellsworth C. Ellis was born at Berlin, Wis., on Nov. 14, 1863, and was therefore in the 44th year of his age. He was a son of George and Lucy Ellis and his father will be remembered by pioneers as one of the early stage drivers between Berlin and Stevens Point. The family came to this city to reside when the now deceased was a small child, and some three years later the father went west and has never been heard from since. The mother continued to reside here for a number of years thereafter, and being left in poor circumstances, the children were obliged to make their own way in the world at an early age. Ellsworth was an industrious boy, honest and upright, and had been successful in his trade as a barber. He was married at Milladore Mar. 20, 1888, to Miss Emma Shidel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shidel, now of this city, and they had resided at the South Side for nearly twenty years. For a time the husband was employed in a shop there, and later engaged in business with Chas. H. Haase, but for the past 16 years has been the sole proprietor of the shop at 1200 Division street. He was an attendant at St. Paul's M. E. church and for years took an active interest in everything that promised to benefit and upbuild that church, and help its people in a spiritual way. No children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, and besides his wife he leaves his mother, two brothers and sister. The mother, Mrs. Lucy Ellis, and sister, Mrs. Lindeaux, reside at Kaukauna, one brother, Ervin, at Oconto Falls, and the other brother, Dr. O. L. Ellis, at La Crosse. The funeral took place from St. Paul's M. E. church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. C. F. Spray officiating, and the church was filled with relatives and friends of the deceased. Interment followed in Forest cemetery. The pallbearers were C. E. Emmons, W. B. Eddy, L. A. Martin, W. B. Pett, Chas. Chamberlain and B. S. Ellenwood. All South Side business places were closed during the hours of the funeral in respect to the memory of the deceased. Relatives and friends present from outside the city were the mother and sister of Mr. Ellis, and the latter lady's husband, of Kaukauna; his brother, Irvin, and wife, of Oconto Falls; Mrs. O. L. Ellis and two sons, Dan and George, of Grand Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Shidel and Bert Dwinell, of Amherst; C. M. Dwinell, of Amherst Junction; Mr. and Mrs. George Cooper, of Rudolph; John Luhn and son, Mr. and Mrs. John Minsch and Mrs. Edwards, of Fond du Lac; Mr. and Mrs. Adam Shidel and daughter, of Milladore; C. E. Smith of Marshfield and Mrs. Ortleib of Chilton.

The death of Mrs. Louis A. Martin occurred at 10:15 a. m. Sunday at the family home at 120 Oak street, after a long period of ill health, which first became noticeable on Memorial day, 1906. She spent the winter of 1906-7 in Texas in the hope of relief but continued to fail slowly until the final summons. She was able to be about the house daily, even until a few hours before her death.

On July 3,, 1891, at Almond, she was married to Mr. Martin.

L. A. MARTIN SUMMONED.

Prominent Resident of This City Dies at Abbotsford.

Louis A. Martin of this city, but who has been operating a factory at Abbotsford since last spring, died at that place at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning. He had been afflicted with heart and stomach trouble for nearly a year but had been able to attend to his business affairs most of the time. Last Saturday morning he over-exerted himself in trying to catch a train from Abbotsford bound for this city and was overcome. His condition at once became serious and Mrs. Martin was called to Abbotsford that evening and remained with him until the end. Mr. Martin was born at Kewaunee, Kewaunee county, in 1862. He came to Stevens Point from Almond where he resided many years, in 1903, and opened a hardware store in the Odd Fellows' building on the south side. He continued that business for six years and then began the manufacture of Martin's Automatic Litter carrier, of which he was the inventor. The factory was located in this city until last spring, when it was removed to Abbotsford, where the manufacture of a patented cattle stanchion was also taken up. Both the litter carrier and the stanchion were rapidly being introduced in all parts of the country and due to their superiority over anything of their kind heretofore put onto the market gave promise of bringing the results that Mr. Martin had worked long and hard to obtain. The deceased was an honorable, industrious citizen of whom any community might well be proud and his death is a great shock to many friends in this city and elsewhere. He is survived by his widow, three children, Walter, Orestes and Sarah, all of whom live at home, and three brothers and a sister, Mrs. Augusta Whitman and John and Charles Martin of Almond and William Martin of this city. The body was brought to this city this morning and the funeral will  be held this Sunday afternoon. Services will be conducted at the family home, 532 Fremont street at 1:30 o'clock and from the Methodist church at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. R. Montague officiating. Interment will be made in Forest cemetery.

HE DIED IN ABBOTSFORD

Louis A. Martin, Stevens Point Citizen, Summoned in Northern Village - Funeral Here Last Sunday.

Although many friends of Louis A. Martin of this city had long been aware of the fact that he was not in good health, nevertheless the announcement of his death, which occurred at Abbotsford at 1:30 o'clock last Thursday morning, comes as a shock to all. For the past year he had been afflicted with heart and stomach trouble, but nevertheless was able to look after his business interests a greater part of the time. The final and fatal turn in his condition occurred the Saturday morning before his death, when he was overcome while hurrying to catch a train bound for his home in this city, and had to be assisted to his room at the Thompson Hotel. Mrs. Martin left for Abbotsford on the evening train, remaining almost constantly at his bedside until the end came at the hour above mentioned. Louis A. Martin was a native of Kewaunee, born Aug. 1, 1862, but spent much of his life in the town of Almond, this county. About nine years ago he came to Stevens Point, opening a hardware store in Odd Fellows' block, South Side, which he conducted for several years, and during this time commenced the manufacture of an invention of his own, known as the Martin automatic litter carrier, which he made in this city and at Vesper, Wood county. Returning from the latter place, he remained here until last March, when he was offered an inducement to locate his plant at Abbotsford, where the manufacture of a patent cattle stanchion was also commenced and the name was changed to the Abbotsford Mfg. Co. Mr. Martin was meeting with good success in the making of both of these articles, due to superior workmanship, but the many hard hours he devoted to his work overtaxed his strength and materially assisted in bringing on the troubles which ended in his death. Besides his widow, who was formerly Mrs. Emma Shidel Ellis and to whom he was married three years ago the 25th of last August, Mr. Martin is survived by three children by a former marriage, Walter, Orestes and Sarah Martin, all of this city, and one sister and three brothers, Mrs. Augusta Wittman, John and Chas. Martin of Almond and Wm. Martin of this city. He was an exemplary citizen, one who always endeavored to do that which he believed was honorable, honest and legitimate, and those who are left to mourn have the sympathy of many friends. The body arrived here Friday morning and was taken to the family home, 532 Fremont street, the funeral taking place from the residence at 1:30 Sunday afternoon and from St. Paul's M. E. church at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. R. Montague officiating, with interment in Forest cemetery. Hymns were sung at the church by a quartette consisting of Misses Mildred Kelsey and Mae Stanton, Geo. Smalley and Valentine Putz and with Miss Marjorie Rudkin as accompanist. The local lodge of Beavers, to which the deceased belonged, attended in a body, and the pallbearers were members of the order, as follows: Wm. Duggan, Wm. Maine, J. W. Moxon, Wilbur Craig, Henry Gussell and Ole Otten. A number of relatives and friends were present from a distance, including Mr./ and Mrs. John Martin and daughter, Cora, Mr. and Mrs. William Wittman and daughter, Mrs. Gust Gross, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Wittman, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Martin, Mr.. and Mrs. David Mehne, Herman Bier, Peter Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. John Tess and daughter, Miss Frieda, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kunde of Almond; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kunde of Appleton; Mrs. Fred Shidel of Amherst; Miss Lauretta Martin of Chicago; William Martin of Vesper; Emil Martin of New London; Otto Martin of Ripon and William Wittman, Jr., of Oasis.

WALTER J. MARTIN.

Walter John Martin, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Martin of this city, passed away at St. Joseph's hospital at Marshfield Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. Six weeks ago, while employed at Abbotsford, the young man was taken ill quite suddenly and was taken to the Marshfield hospital, where he underwent several operations, the final one on Saturday of last week.

The deceased was born in Almond on April 1, 1892. He came to this city with his parents ten years ago and for several years thereafter attended the public schools and the Stevens Point Business college, completing his course at the latter institution. For the last two years he had been employed in the plant of the Abbotsford Manufacturing Co., at Abbotsford, where the Martin litter carrier, invented by his father, is made. His father passed away on January 23, last, and his mother five years ago March 29. Walter was a bright, Ambitious young man of sterling character, one who made many lasting friends wherever he was known. That his career, so full of bright promise for the future, should be ended by death at so early an age, is profoundly regretted. He is survived by his stepmother, Mrs. Emma Martin, and a sister, Miss Sarah, both of this city, and a brother, Orestes, who is employed in Almond. The funeral will take place at Almond Tuesday afternoon. Services will be conducted at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock, followed by burial in the Almond cemetery, beside the body of his mother.
