ELIAS ELLIS is one of the two Representatives from Muskingum county, and also one of the ablest members of the
House. He is a native of Ohio, born near St. Clairsville, July 11, 1805, but when less than a year old his parents
located near Dresden, in the county which he represents.
In 1853 Mr. Ellis was united in marriage to Miss Susan sash. In 1858 he was elected Treasurer of his county, to
fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of Benjamin Adams. The Commissioners appointed John Dillon to fill the vacancy,
the case came before the Supreme Court, and Dillon was retained, thus settling the question definitely. He never
held any office until elected to the present position; cast his first Presidential vote for Jackson and last one
for Seymour.
This is his second term in the House.
