Lucy Conrad is the daughter of Samuel Peter Conrad and Elizabeth Thompson Conrad. They migrated from Pennsylvania to Missouri. Samuel Peter Conrad's father was from Holland. The family name in Holland was Keuhny.
Lucy Conrad married William Silas Ellis on 4 December 1879 in Cooper county, Missouri.
According to the 1910 Census for Heath's Creek township, Pettis county, Missouri Lucy was the mother of eight children, all of whom were still living in May 1910.
Children were: Clyde Wesley, Isaac, Peter Monroe, Francis Allen, Ora Azalee, William Roy, Van Preston, and John George Ellis.
A family member wrote that when Lucy Conrad Ellis washed her dishes she dried them and set the table for the next meal except the plates were turned upside down. She always had a spoon holder, a preserve stand, vinegar cruet, etc. in the middle of the table which was covered over with cloth.
"W. S. Ellis is listed as one of six directors of the Lamine School in 1898, three from each county the school served. The teacher was R. O. Harris who was also a Baptist minister. At the turn of the century when Mr. Harris was teacher, the first fire in the stove was started on a cool day, and it had been a very dry fall. The next thing they knew the upper part of the building was on fire. The school was on a hill, no water on the grounds, and the nearest was from a good spring in a nearby pasture. He ordered the students to the southeast corner of the yard where they were to take their books and stand there. He ran to the W. S. Ellis home near the north corner of the yard and in a few minutes came back with a ladder on one arm and a large bucket in the other hand. There was no water at the Ellis home either but Mrs. Ellis gave him her bucket of slop water. He quickly got the ladder in place, climbed to the roof with the bucket and put out the fire.
Mrs. Ellis's home was also their first-aid station. There were no band-aids in those days and no medication was kept at the school, but Miss Lucy, as Mrs. Ellis was called, always had the time, the makings for a bandage and comforting words for a hurt child." (SOURCE: "Life in Pettis County, 1815-1973" by Hazel N. Lang, n.p. 1975).
Lucy Ellis died at the age of 74 years of lobar pneumonia. In error, her Missouri death certificate states her birth was 21 May 1880 (Her first son was born in 1880!). She was actually 74 years old at the time of her death. The death record also stated that she suffered from chronic anemia. The informant on her death record was her husband, W. S. Ellis of Newland, Missouri. She is buried in the Hopewell Cemetery which is located not far from their farm.
