Lloyd Ellis

Mr. Lloyd Ellis had symptoms of lung disease at the time (of his father’s death), but not to a degree to lead his friends to expect a fatal termination soon. But his health declined rapidly towards the end of the year, and in the month of January, 1870, he was in a dying state.

Lying in an apparent sleep one night (on Monday night, I believe) he woke up suddenly and asked his mother: “Where is my father?” She answered him tearfully: “Lloyd dear, you know your dear father is dead. He has been dead for more than a year now.” “Is he?”—he asked, incredulously—”Why! He was in the room just now, and I have an appointment with him, three o’clock next Wednesday.” And Lloyd Ellis died at three o’clock on the following Wednesday morning.”
