Articles about the Ellsworth Families
The great granddaughter of Alice Estelle Garlock Harvey, clipped newspaper articles and pasted them in an old farm book. The book is over 3 inches in thickness. Most of the articles are about people living in the Monroe/Pierpont/Crawford County, Pa area. And most of them have no dates unless they're mentioned in the article itself, though they range from 1898 to 1912 or so. Most are obituaries, marriages, and reunions. These were on the Ashtabula Ohio pages.
From these I gleaned much info about Thomas G. Ellsworth, and are not in order, just as I copied them. To see his tree go to Thomas Ellsworth. Also, many volunteers read and typed up cemetery logs, census books, marriage records, obituaries, etc. that I was able to research via the internet, my thanks to them.

He believed that when he was compelled to lie down by the still waters for ever, his life of right doing and good will to all and a love for his maker and keeper would secure for him peace eternal. the funeral was held at his late home Tuesday, Dec 21, and it was conducted by R.
