OBITUARY
Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at
the north wind?s breath, And stars to set ? but all, Thou
hast all seasons for they own, O, death.?


Died, on the 14th ult., at the residence of his son, John
W. Ellis, in Crawford County, Ga., Maj. Richard W. Ellis,
after a protracted illness, in the 70th year of his age. 
He had been for many years a useful member and Deacon of
the Baptist Church.  His pious christian example was
known and appreciated by a large circle of brethren and
friends.  His extreme age prevented him a portion of the
time from that active usefulness, in which it is the
privilege of younger christians to engage, yet the loss
of his influence in his own church and neighborhood will
doubtless be much regretted.  He was a man of more than
ordinary native benevolence of character, and was
respected by all who knew him.  If it may be said of any
man, it may be said of him, that he had no enemies.  A
few days before he died, he expressed a perfect
resignation to the will of his Heavenly Master.  His
orderly christian life is the strongest evidence that he
now enjoys eternal Life.                                 
E.M.A.
