Abe Ellison, Lena and Morris' second child, was born in New York before the family moved to Bradford, PA. When he was twenty-three, Abe enlisted in the army and served as an World War I infantryman for almost two and a half years. He was gassed during his service, and lived with the effects of his injury for the rest of his life. Still, he enlisted again, during World War II.
Abe lived much of his adult life with his mother and younger brother, Joe, doing odd jobs, until the 1940's. Then, he began working at the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Chestnut Street in Bradford, and married Elizabeth Thomas. Abe was sixty-six when he died in 1960.
He received a World War I Military Headstone in honor of his service. Abe's military service, and that of his brother Max Ellison, as well as the World War II service of his nephews Samuel, Manuel and Jerome Ellison, remain commemorated in Bradford's Beth Israel Temple's Roll of Honor.
