Excerpt from The Ellis Family I have had valuable help from many of the family, who have met my endeavors to gather correct information with ready and willing assistance. To Grace Peterson Colvin and J. E. Peterson for the family of their grandfather, Henry Ellis; to Emma Whisler for the family of her grandmother, Rosa Ellis Carman, and to Estella Orebaugh Pratt for the family of her great - grand mother, Katie Ellis Duckwall, I am greatly indebted. Some of the families have wandered so far away that all efforts to trace them have failed. My sister did not live to see my work completed, but well on its way, and the impetus she gave it carried it forward to the end. It was largely due to her encouragement and sympathy of interest that the work was ever finished. She was the inspira tion, the encouragement, and incentive of the work, and to her memory I dedicate my book.

Excerpt from A History and Genealogy of the John Ellis Family, 1797-1935 The author has spent much time in gathering and arranging the subject matter of this volume. It has been a labor of love. He will feel amply repaid if the family deems it worth printing. The need of preserving the records during the lifetime of many of the older members of the family seemed imperative, for upon such records is based much of the knowledge so eagerly sought by historical and.

Excerpt from Edward Ellis Allen He was so modest and self-effacing in all he did that his family feels moved to make this record of his various services to the cause of the blind. It is generally con ceded that if not the originator of many of the new movements in the work for the blind, he was at the last of his directorship the acknowledged Leader. He set the type of the changes that were bound to come in the second fifty years of the work and was the instrument through which the education of the blind, in the United States, broke away from the somewhat stultifying bonds of charity, was broadened, made more efficient and more dignified. This sketch has been written during his lifetime, that it might have his correction and approval, and no pains have been spared to make it authentic.

Excerpt from Millwood, a Family Tree: A Partial History of the Descendants of John Ellis of Rehoboth, Mass Everybody who writes a book, presents an excuse for doing so. This little volume is the result Of the writer's interest in the subject. It is nothing to be ashamed Of, to believe that blood is thicker than water. We confess to a reverence for those who have gone before; an honoring of the fathers. The matter Of collecting and publishing what could be learned Of the within Ellis family was discussed and even begun more than twenty years ago, but sus pended because Of other duties. Most Of those then interested are now fallen asleep. Many things are lost, but perhaps some are gained, by this delay. Much Of the work Of tracing family lines is now done by expert genealogists; but as this involves money outlay, we were obliged to forego such assist ance. Fortunately, however, the increased interest in early New England history has put a large collection Of information in many libraries and historical rooms so that What would once have been exceedingly diffi cult is now comparatively easy. All who for any reason undertake a work like this, find it difficult to secure information by correspond ence, and we have been no exception. It would have been a pleasure to make the range of facts much more comprehensive; but instead Of regretting, we are rather disposed to be thankful for the measure Of favor that has been accorded us; the humble results Of which are now given to the present generation and their posterity.

Lynn’s life is full — choir practice, school, shopping for the perfect jeans, and dealing with her free-spirited mother. Then one day her life is saved by a mysterious girl named Blossom, who introduces Lynn to her own world and family — both more bizarre, yet somehow more sane, than Lynn’s own. Blossom’s family is a small band of outcasts and eccentrics who live secretly in an ingenious bunker beneath a city reservoir. The Underlanders forage and trade for the things they need (“Is it useful or lovely?”), living off the things “Citizens” throw away. Lynn is enchanted and amazed. But when she inadvertently reveals their secret, she is forced to take measure of her own motives and lifestyle, as she figures out what it really means to be a family, and a friend. Classic Sarah Ellis, this novel is smart, rich, engaging and insightful.
