That is all that is written in the Bible. It appears that possibly they had acquired the
Bible around 1929 as that is when it appears the names, dates and incidents were written
in it by Allen or Beatrice. They would have been living in Oregon at the time.
Another interesting article I found in her Bible was from the Baker City paper, no date
titled Our Men and Women In Service-50 Baker County men Killed in World War. I have the
Original Document for his Purple Heart, but not the Medal itself. I also have the
correspondence that had been sent to them upon his being declared Missing In Action. It is
my understanding that he was part of what they called "the Death March". He was
serving in the Philappines at the time. I also have his last letter saved by his mother
while he was out on ship. The newspaper says, "Private Robert A.
Ellis, son of Mrs. Allen Ellis of Mollala, previously reported missing in action
and post-humously awarded the Purple Heart;" Allen and Beatrice never really ever
recovered from this death. I'm not sure his body was ever recovered, but he does have a
gravestone at the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Baker City, Oregon. His grandparents were John
Allen and Cordelia (Kilby) Ellis of Monroe County, Tennessee.

Samuel Yates / Jane Millsaps Bible Record
This Bible record was included in the pension record of Samuel Yates who served out of NC
during the Rev. War. #R11927. He was born Aug. 24, 1757, joined the service in Nash Co. NC
and died Apr. 18, 1844. His widow applied for pension from Cocke Co. Tn. in 1846 at age
87., therefore born ca. 1759. She md. Samuel Yates Jan. 1787 in Burke Co. NC. The Bible
was copied for the purpose of applying for pension, because the original was in such poor
shape. The corner was torn from the pages as a man named Ford wanted to use the births of
two of the girls to apply for pension on behalf of his mother. Jesse Millsaps of Monroe
Co. Tn. was illegitimate son of Jane Millsaps. It goes as follows:
Mary Yeats was born October 2, 1787
Jane Yates was born October the 18th 1789.
