Clarence M. Ellington was born on

[great vigor and skill by Judge Elliug-

l walk of life hud always fully in -as ired ,

; the roads of the county that his ability |
and zeal Were probably most signally !

Judge Ellington was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Lulu Buford, j||
and one child, Carl li. Ellington, now |
a citizen of Atlanta, is the only surviv
ing child of that marriage.

Miss .Maggie, Men nett, '■* ho made him
one of I lie most ulkei donate of wives i
and one of the must h ving and lein' -r'
mothers to his children. She still sur-|
vivos him. Six children, Misses Clare, i
Edith, Sarah and Eva and Claude and j
Arthur Ellington are the fruits of the |
second marriage. The deatli of the j
head of the family is a sad blow to,
these his surviving ones. A vacancy:
