The Mountaineer was an Elizabethton, Tennessee newspaper (now the Elizabethton Star) in which Daniel Ellis was frequently mentioned. I am indebted to E. Keith Johnson of Mountain Home, TN, among whose assistance has been to send me a number of photocopies of such mentions. For example: Ellis being one of several citizens buying a sewing machine from Samuel P. Angel (24 October 1879); Ellis on a bear hunt (1 November 1894); Ellis in Grand Army of the Republic Decoration Day activities (8 May 1896); Ellis' name on a GAR resolution honoring Captain Landon Carter on his passing (29 May 1896); Ellis attending, delivering an address at, and being recognized for his Mexican War service at a 13th Cavalry reunion in Butler, TN (16 October 1896, p.1); Ellis being "a visitor here" (Elizabethton? The Mountaineer offices?) (11 May 1900); and Ellis mentioned in an advertisement for Scott and Angel's History of the Thirteenth Regiment, and being visited by William Ellis of Elk Park, NC (15 August 1902).
