He was one of the Morgan men entertained by the 7th Ohio regiment in Cincinnati during the G.A.R. reunion. Mr. Ellis recounted some war history and we could see the lightning of war flash fro his eyes and could imagine just why and how 1,760 such brave spirits could make 4,000 Yanks carry the mail at Hartsville and other points along the line of march through Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, and while they excited lots of curiosity on the streets, no one offered the slightest insult. They took n o part in the parade, but quietly enjoyed themselves in social intercourse around the banquet table, where anecdotes were told, speeches made and songs sung." --His name appears in my Grandfather Ossman's store book of 1899. --In an interview with Amanda[?] Ellis, daughter of Andrew Ellis, she said that Andrew and John G. Ellis were brothers, her mother was Artmecia Ossman, they had four girls, and they moved away from Beaver when she was a small girl. She also said Andrew Ellis died in Walton and was buried at Hughes Chapel in an unmarked grave, that he was a "whiskey gauger", that they spent some time in Covington, and that her mother drew some kind of pension. This man was William Jack's grandfather, he had a beard and was of ordinary size. --Andrew and wife are buried at Hughes Chapel although they have no stone. This is according to Mrs. Lee Afterkirk of Beaver who attended his funeral there.
