Mrs. Henrietta Ellis Dead.
Passes Away in Portland at the Home of Her Daughter.
Chet Ellis received a wire Thursday evening announcing the death of his mother in Portland that afternoon. Aunt Henrietta was well known in Dallas, and leaves many relatives and friends. The following was taken from the Oregonian:
The death of Henrietta Rowell Ellis at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.A. Johns, 632 Terrace Road, on the afternoon of October 17, marks the passing of another pioneer of Oregon.
Mrs. Ellis was born December 14, 1825, in Athena, Ohio. She was the daughter of William and Hester Lentner Rowell, a prominent Virginia family. She was a direct descendant of James Neal, a captain in the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment in the war of the Revolution under Col. William Russell. Other ancestors also gained distinction in the war of 1812.
On October 2, 1844, she was married to Henry Ellis, and in 1865 came to Oregon and Polk county. After the death of her husband in 1861 [sic!], Mrs. Ellis moved to Salem, where she was an active and devoted worker in the First Methodist church. In 1908 she went to Baker to make her home with her daughter Mrs C.A. Johns, remaining until last June, moving to Portland at the time Mr and Mrs Johns took up their residence in this city.
She is survived by three sons, W. R. of Oregon City, H. J. and J. C. Ellis of Dallas; and three daughters, Mrs. N. L. Butler, Twenty-fourth and East Hoyt, Portland; Mr.s W.H. Kuykendall of Clarkston, Wash, and Mr.s Charles A. Johns, 632 Terrace Road.
Funeral services were conducted from the First Methodist church in Salem.
