The following obituary was written in her memory:
Ellen Florence Ussery was born 1853, in McCoupin, Iowa. Her parents moved to Missouri when she was only a child and she remained there until she met J.P. Ussery, the man she married in 1872 in Camden, Missouri. There they remained until 1892. From there they came to Oklahoma and then to Texas. She proved to be a faithful, true companion the remainder of her life. To this union were born twelve children.She was converted in 1875 and united with the General Baptist Church and lived loyal to this faith until 1906 when she read the full Gospel Messages in the Gospel Tumpet and accepted the Truth. And feeling the call of God to obey the teaching of the word, she with her husband entered full heartedly into the Reformation work, where she enjoyed her God given freedom as long as she lived.
She died November 5, 1926 in Minturn, Colorado, being survived by her husband, three sons and one daughter. They went to Colorado for her health. This being the most beautiful scenery she had ever enjoyed provided a great consolation to her bereaved husband.
This faithful wife and mother has goone to her great reward and left behind an unusual record. Truly could be said of her "Blessed are they which die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."(Source: Usry Bul 155 pg 5)
