Former Cass County Citizen
Dies Near Brunswick.
Nebraska
From the Brunswick Independent
we
clip the following:
James Monroe ruimgton wos born in
Rockport, Missouri, August 13, 1848,
and died at his home four miles south
of Brunswick, on Thursday, July 16,1908,
aged 59 years, 11 months and 2 days.
When eight years of age he moved
with his parents to Rock Bluffs, Cass
county, this state. He was united in
marriage with Miss Narcis Mann, Jan
uary 17, 1876. To them were born four
children, two sons and two daughters, all
of whom are living except one, Dorcey,
who died July 3, 1893. In 1884 they lo
cated in the northern part of Antelope
county where they have continuously
resided up to the time of his departure.
The deceased has been failing in health
for several months, and only recently
returned from Neligh, wherehe had re
ceived medical treatment. Since his re
turn he had been feeling considerably
better, and hopes were entertained for
his complete recovery. Afewdays before
the flesh yielded and the spirit took its
flight, he became suddenly worse, yet
hi3 case was not pronounced hopeless.
His death was due to complication of
diseases.
Being an old resident, Mr. Ellington
had formed a large circle of acquain
tances. It is, therefore, unnecessary to
say that his death occasions widespread
sorrow. He was a member .of the
Modern Woodmen of America. In all
his business relations he was admired
for his upright and honest principles.
As a man of character he had the high
estimation of his neighbors. There are
none but kind words to be heard con
cerning him.
The funeral services were held at his
home on Sunday afternoon, July 19,
1908, and conducted by the writer.
pastor of the Brunswick Methodist Epis
copal church. A very large number of
friends gathered to pay their tribute of
respect to this honored citizen to whom
they shall never ogain say goodbye,
and unite in the expression of their sym
pathy for the members of his bereaved
family. His remains were laid to rest
in the Presbyterian cemetery on the
Willow to await the general resur
rection. " S. A. Bear.:
The Journal did not have the pleasure
of a personal acquaintance with the.de
ceased, but has learned the following
which we give in addition to the above
sketch:
James M. Ellington was the oldest
child of William R. and Margaret El
lington who were among the earliest
pioneer settlers of Cass county. The
father of deceased, was the first sheriff
ever elected in Cass county, the contest
being between William R. Ellington
and Lois Lucas. At the general elec
tion of Nov. 6th., 1855, each had 65
votes. At a special election on Novem
ber 17, 1855, another tie vote resulted.
At a second special election on Decem
ber 1st., 1855, William R. Ellington
was successful and became the first
sheriff ever elected by the voters of
Cass county.
In those early days the country was
wild, with few scattered settlers,
claim-jumpers and horse thieves were
numerous. The sheriff was regarded
as the principal officer in county and
territory, and performance of his duties
was full of danger and peril. Sheriff
Ellington was a man of great courage
and iron nerve and it is said that it was
not long before he had lawlessness
cowed and in check.
The maiden name of the mother of
deceased was Miss Margaret Young,
a sister of the late Lewis H. Young and
of P. M. Young, sr., living near Mur
ray. She, like her husband, belonged
to a pioneer family, which, like others,
helped to plant the first seeds of civili
zation in the Great West more than half
century ago.
Her family was closely related to that
of F. M. Young, jr., and David A.
Young, both living near Murray and
whose father, William Young, was the
first county surveyor ever elected in
Cass county elected fifty one years
ago.
James M. Ellington,
during his boyhood and young man
hood, was well known in and near Rock
Bluffs, his first Nebraska home. His
big heart, genial and social nature
made everybody his friend; and there
were many expressions of sorrow among
his old friends when the sad news came
of his unexpected demise.
Deceased left surviving, his widow J
residing on the farm near Brunswick,
Antelope county, Neb. ; daughter, Miss
Bessie Ellington residing at Minot, N.
D.;son, Cash G. Ellington residing at
Brunswick, Neb., and daughter, Mrs.
Hettie Tyndall residing at Vivian, S.D.
Deceased also left surviving the fol
lowing named brothers: Josh, Charles,
Joseph, Luther, Samuel and Thomas,
and the following named sisters who
were present at the funeral: Mrs Clara
Waler of Red Cloud, Neb., Mrs. Hattie
Royal of Plainview, Neb., and Mrs.

Of the brothers, all were present at
the funeral except Thomas who was
detained at his home in Omaha on ac
count of sickness. The brothers, John
Charles, Joseph, Luther, Samuel and
Deleware Mann a brother-in-law acted
as pall bearers. Mrs. Ellington's sis
ters, Mrs. David A. Young from near
Murray, and Mrs. Garnet Williver and
husband from Moorehead, Iowa and
her brothers Deleware Mann of Cass
county and Grant Mann from Moore

Drowned in Water Tank.
One of the most distressing deaths
that it has been the Journal's lot to
chronicle is that of little Evelyn, the
two-year-old daughter of Alvin Faris, a
prominent farmer residing three miles
southeast of Murray.
The body of the little unfortunate was
discovered this afternoon about two
o'clock by Tom Hicks, the rural mail
carrier, who drove into Mr. Faris' to
water his horses. When he reached the
water tank he was horrified to discover
the little body in the tank, where she
had evidently fallen while playing. It
is presumed that she was playing around
the edge of the tank and had ventured
too far over the rim, falling in. It was
evident that the body had been in the
water about half an hour when found.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The stricken family
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity in their sudden and terrible be
reavement. Hurt in a Runaway
Steve Copenhaver was badly injured
last Friday in a runaway. He was out
in the field hauling hay, when the team
ran away with part of a load, upsetting
the wagon and throwing Mr. Copenhaver
to the ground and bruising him pretty
badly. Dr. Brendell who was called
soon after the accident says there were
no bones broken, but he received several
cuts. The doctor says he is getting
along as nicely as could be expected
under the circumstances. The Journal
hopes for his speedy recovery.
A Pleasant Time
Quite a number of friends and rela
tives gathered at the home of W. M.
Philpot on Sunday, August 2, to cele
brate his 37th birthday. At the usual
hour the table was loaded down with
good things to eat of which all did am
ple justice. The decorations were green
and white. A table for the children
was spread and all had a good time in
the afternoon. Ice cream and cake
were served and at a late hour all de
parted for home whishing Mr. Philpot
many more pleasant birthdays and
pronouncing Mr. and Mrs. Philpot a
royal entertainer. Those who enjoyed the
occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Ben Ruby,
Manley; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Philpot,
Weeping Water; Bert Philpot and fam
ily, Adam Cook and family, J. W.
Philpot and family, Ellnont Preston

One Who Was There.
Flower Festival
The flower festival Tuesday evening
was a great success. This was the first
attempt here to celebrate this old cus
tom so long practiced in the churches.
Only two Sunday school classes, Miss
Brodeker's and Mrs. Smith's, made
the display, Miss Brodeker's class
winning the prize. Over forty varieties
of flowers were on display. The liter
ary part of the program was furnished
by the class in elocution. Each mem
ber of the class did well.
Mrs. Gilmore, Miss Walker. Miss "Al
lison, Fay Oldham, Eihle Spangler and
Ogla Minfred furnished music, which
was good.
Pefreshments were served after the
program. The Sunday School hopes to
make a more elaborate display next
year.
Miss Carrie Allison who was visiting
her sister in Tecumseh, returned home
Tuesday, Mrs. Clineburg accompanying
her for a visit with her mother, Mrs.
Allison.

FRENCH NAVAL DISASTER
SIX MEN KILLED ON GUNNERY
SCHOOL SHIP COURONNE.
Eighteen Others Are Injured Breech
block of Gun Blows Out While
Recruits Are Practicing. -
Toulon, Aug. 13. Six persons were
killed and 18 injured in a gun explo
sion aboard the gunnery school ship
Couronne Wednesday off Les Salins
d'Hyeres.
The accident occurred while a num
ber of recruits were receiving in
structions in handling a 164-millimeter
gun, the breech of which blew
out. Three of those wounded are in a
desperate condition.
According to experts in gunnery,
the accident tvis due to the decompo
sitfon of "B" powder, to which the
disaster to the battleship Iena, in
1907, was attributed, and in which
more than 100 lives were lost. The
men In the turret at the time of the
accident declare, however, that the
gun became overheated owing to the
rapidity with which it was being fired.
The shell had hardly been pushed
home when it exploded with tre
mendous force. Sheets of flame darted
backward from the gun and those
standing nearby were hurled to the
deck. Several of the men were ter
ribly mutilated. Two were permanent
ly blinded and the limbs of others had
to be amputated immediately. All the
occupants of the turret were more or
less injured.
This is the third fatal accident to
occur on board the school ship Cou
ronne within the past 16 months, afl
of which were due to the blowing of!
of breechblocks. In the first, April 19,
1907, three men were killed and sev
eral injured; and on August 2 of the
same year, three fiien of the crew of
a four-inch gun .were .killed and five
wounded. The Couronne is an old ves
sel, having been laid down in 1861, but
new boilers were installed in 1898.
Her armament consists of 34 guns of
various sizes and her complement ii
622 men.
