Capt. Jackson W. & Sue Ella Ellis
Bunch Cemetery
Captain Jackson W. ELLIS, pioneer Indian resident and prominent figure of Territorial days, died at his home near Bunch Saturday at the age of 73 years.
Rev. J.M. HAYGOOD conducted the funeral and arrangements were in charge of the Roberts Undertaking Parlor.
Captain ELLIS became affiliated with the Indian Police early in his life and rode with them for more than 25 years, according to old residents.
In his younger days he rode the western part of the state and later was transferred to this section. He was for many years captain of the "Light Horse Brigade," the name by which the Indian police were known.
He was influential in political and tribal affairs until most of the power was taken from the hands of the tribes and many stories are told of his maneuverings.
The Captain had been in ill health for some time.
He is survived by his wife, three sons and a brother, Mitch ELLIS, of Sallisaw. His son, Jack, and wife of Detroit were present for the funeral.
