LOT ELLINGTON GRAVE, COLEMAN COUNTY, TEXAS

      This single grave lies in a clump of trees about one mile south of the Trickham community.  Early Coleman County history relates that Lot Ellington contracted smallpox on a horse selling trip to Kansas.  He was making his home in Coleman County with the Fiveash family at the time and brought the disease back.  Ellington died, following by Tom Moss (who also lived with the Fiveash family) and Enoch and Lucinda Fiveash.  We are told by the late Leona Bruce, "As the members of the Fiveash family died, they were buried on their own land.  Lot was laid away on one side of the field, and Tom, Lucinda and Enoch some distance away, in a corner of the land."  However, the grave of Lot Ellington is located about one and one-half miles northeast of the Fiveash Cemetery.  His unkept grave marker reads:


ELLINGTON, A. L. - Nov 9, 1854 - died of smallpox Feb 29, 1876
