George Lincoln Ellis, well- known citizen of Goderich and former publisher of the Goderich Signal-Star, died suddenly at his home at 19 Wellington St. South on April 11, 1972. lie was 66 year's of age. Mr. Ellis had distinguished himself, not only in journalism, but in many fields since being born in Mount Forest, Ontario in December 1905. The son of the late Thomas Henry Ellis and Emma Florence Ryan, he lived in Mount Forest until lie entered Trinity College, the University of TOronto. It was while at Trinity he first became involved in newspaper work on The Varsity, the daily newspaper for undergraduates at the University, He later worked with MacLean Publishing Company, Toronto; The London Advertiser; The Sudbury Daily Star; and The Windsor Daily Star. From June, 1942 until June, 1946 be served in the Public Relations division of the Royal Canadian Army at London. On September 5, 1942 he married Gene Auman in Elmira, Mrs. Ellis survives her husband. In an article in 1965 when he retired, Mr. Ellis remembered coming to Goderich. "We vividly recall June, 1946 when we came from four and one- half years' service in Army Public Relations at Military Headquarters at London, Ontario, to become co-publisher of the Goderich Signal-Star with the late W. If Robertson," he said, "When Mr. Robertson retired in 1951 we became sole publisher of The Signal-Star". Mr. Ellis was editor and publisher of The Signal-Star from that time until his retirement in October 1, 1965 when R. G, Shrier, who had been with the paper since October 1, 1961, bought controlling interest in Signal-Star Publishing Limited. During those years as publisher, Mr. Ellis served terms as president of the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association. the Midwestern Ontario Weekly Association and the Huron County Weekly Newspaper' Association. W. E. Elliott, a long-time acquaintance of Mr. Ellis' and journalist for 60 years, paid tribute to Mr. Ellis on hearing of his death. "When Mr. Ellis retired in Leslie George Stirling of Rattenbury Street, Clinton died at his home on April 6,1972, He was 73 years of age. He was horn in Goderich township on May 31, 1898, the son of Robert and Elizabeth Stirling. He lived in the township until moving to Clinton three years ago. He was predeceased by his first wife in 1967, He remarried to Mrs. Mabel Switzer in 1967 and she survives him. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. George (Betty) Case, RR 4, Walton; Mrs. Francis (Marie) Hiusser, Galt; Mrs. GEORGE LINCOLN ELLIS 1965," Mr. Elliott said, "his message forecast many changes—and indeed in the newspaper world they are always taking place. Those persons who have occasion to examine the files of the Signal in the first decades of this century, when it was deeply concerned with partisan politics, can best appreciate the changes for the better that have come about in George Ellis' time, "His editorials were moderate in tone, written with clarity and widely quoted; but I always felt that his first concern was the industrious gathering of news and its adequate presentation. "Will Robertson and George Ellis consecutively were editors of the paper for more than half its long life, and one thing I will always remember about both was their availability to the public. Mr. Ellis, a senior newspaper man when he came here, might have kept himself in a remote office, but on the contrary, was always in plain view through the West Street windows. "Anyone with a news item, a complaint, or just time to kill, could step right in and interrupt what he was doing. No doubt it helped him to learn about his public. He was patient even with me, and we were friends for 25 years, ''Mr. Ellis accurately appraised the many factors essential to the continued success of a local newspaper, and he cited some of these at the time of his retirement; but, no single factor is more important than the personality of the editor- publisher, In that capacity, Mr. Ellis must be counted a great public servant." Although journalism was his business, Mr, Ellis had many other interests, He was a member of the Maitland Lodge No, 33 A.F. &A.lVI, and was past president of the Goderich Liens Club. He was also a member of North Street United Church. He was chairman of the first zoning committee in Goderich. At the time of his death, he was working on "The Huron County Project" conducted by the University of Guelph. During his collegiate and university days, he was a track and field star and held several university records in interscholastic meets in running and high jumping. History was Mr. Ellis' hobby, He was vice-president of the Huron County Historical Society and his byline often appeared in the Western Ontario section of the London Free Press. A story on the family background of the late Walt Disney in Huron, on which Mr. Ellis did much of the research, will soon appear in the Disney World official publication. He also recently completed a history of the weekly newspapers of Huron County. His uncovering of little-known but important historical facts has led to erection of commemorative plaques by the Ontario Government. He is survived, besides Iris wife, by one daughter, Mrs, Barry (Barbara) Foster of Guelph and two grandchildren, Stephen and Anne. Also surviving are one sister, Mrs, Bryan (Margaret) White, Loomis, Calif,, and one brother, Walter of Ponoka, Alta.
