Mrs. Ella Hollister passed away at St Mary's hospital, Jefferson City, Missouri, Thursday, July 7th at 3:55 am following an operation from which she failed to rally.
The demise of Mrs. Hollister followed an illness of but short duration. She was seized with serious illness on Friday last and the operation was performed on Monday.
Mrs. Hollister was born July 25, 1850, at the ancestral Anderson homestead in Monticello, Lewis County, Missouri. Her parents were Richard West, who came from Danville, Kentucky and Elizabeth Anderson West, who was the daughter of Rev. Joseph Anderson, the first Cumberland Presbyterian minister in Northeast Missouri. She was married to Mortimer Hollister on November 25, 1876. She is survived by her husband; one brother, Joseph S. West, of Monticello; and one son, William Rufus Hollister, president of the Capital News Printing Company and publisher of the Missouri State Journal. Another son, Richard, died in infancy.
With the exception of several years residnece in Washington, DC, and the past year in Jefferson City, her entire life was spent in the vicinity of her childhood's home; where she grew to womanhood in a moral and social atmosphere that produced a generation of citizens who have reflected in no small degree the worthiness and greatness of Missourians - both by adoption and to the manor born. Of a sturdy pioneer stock she was by nature and education endowed with those virtues of womanhood and those qualities of wifehood and motherhood which win the respect and esteem of communities, state and nations and upon which is founded the existence and advancement of Christianity and civilization. Her gentle life was dedicated to the Arts of duty - the duty of a true wife, a noble mother, a consistent Christian and a kind neighbor; its fruition was as the fall of the ripened grain.
