Wilson Daily Times, 11 August 1911.
This notice concerning a wife and daughter reads an awful lot like a runaway slave ad.
A Hannah Ellis is listed in the 1916 Hill’s Wilson, N.C., city directory, at 624 Darden Alley. No other Ellis is listed at that address. I have not found a mother-daughter combination named Hannah and Ida Ellis, nor the name of the man who published this notice anonymously.
