Truman Lee Ellison, son of Lindsay Otis and Bessie May Johnson Ellison, was born June 15, 1926, in DesMoines, Iowa. He departed this life Sunday, November 24, 2002, from injuries received in an automobile accident, near Macomb, Missouri, at the age of seventy-six years, five months, and nine days.
On May 8, 1945, he was united in marriage to Crystal Anna Marie Taylor, and to this union seven daughters and four sons were born.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a grandson; and a brother, Leslie Ellison.
Truman is survived by his loving wife of fifty-seven years, Crystal, of the home; four sons, Virgil Ellison, of Hartville, Missouri, William "Bud" Ellison, of Lebanon, Missouri, Howard Ellison, of Conway, Missouri, and Randy Ellison, of Niangua, Missouri; seven daughters, Faye Adams, Bessie Squires, Goldie Ellison, and Clara Ellison, all of Hartville, Missouri, Alice Nicks, of West Plains, Missouri, Vida Young, of Marshfield, Missouri, and Geneva Bowers, of Springfield, Missouri; twenty-three grandchildren; twenty-nine great-grandchildren; two brothers, Eugene Ellison, of West Plains, Missouri, and Bob Ellison, of Marshfield, Missouri; four sisters, Lorene Carroll, and Ann Ash, both of West Plains, Missouri, Bertha Albro, of Coos Bay, Oregon, and Opal Turnbull, of Springdale, Arkansas; a number of nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
He was born in Iowa and then, as a young child, moved with his family to the West Plains, Missouri area. After he and Crystal were married, they made their home near West Plains, and lovingly raised their family. About twenty-five years ago, he and Crystal moved to Wright County and made their home. Throughout the years, Truman worked as a farm hand doing milking for several area dairy farmers.
Truman had made his profession of faith in Christ and was a member of New Hope Baptist Church.
In his spare time he enjoyed raising chickens and turkeys, and loved to tinker with things around the farm. He had an outgoing personality and enjoyed meeting and visiting with folks. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Truman was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
