PIONEER CHURCH WOMAN OF CITY TAKEN BY DEATH
Mrs. Amy Ellis, For Half Century a Member
of Baptist Denomination, Succumbs
Amy Abernathy, daughter of James and Zarilda Abernathy, was born June 22, 1856, at their farm home west of Centerville, and died Monday, October 17, 1932, at 9 o'clock p.m., at the age of 76 years, 3 months, 25 days, following an extended period of failing health and one week of critical illness.

Ray Ellis, of this city, and John H. Ellis, of Richland, Iowa.
