Larry Ellis, chemist, was leader at church
Larry Edward Ellis was a well-known chemist, forensic scientist and lecturer who studied at Stanford University and the University of Munich.
He was also a man who would rearrange his schedule to serve as youth activities leader of the Second Baptist Church in New Liberty.
Mr. Ellis, who made headlines two years ago in a fight against a chemical plant in Owen County, died Friday at his home on Two Mile Road in New Liberty. He was 55 and had suffered from bladder cancer for about a year.
Mr. Ellis was a research chemist for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Cincinnati.
A native of Shelbyville, Mr. Ellis was the son of Kennett and Alice Emma Comer Ellis. His father was a chiropractor in Shelbyville, and his mother was director of the Red Cross in Shelbyville for 19 years.
Mr. Ellis was a graduate of Berea College and Stanford University, and he also studied at the University of Wisconsin; the University of Munich; the Federal Technical Institute in Zurich, Switzerland; the University of Kentucky; and Ohio University.
His work as a chemist took him to such places as California, Wisconsin and Quebec.
His sister, Janelda Ellis of Milwaukee, said her brother moved to Owen County about five years ago to be closer to his grown children.
"He lived in a historic old school building, which he was in the process of restoring."
It was while living in New Liberty that Mr. Ellis became active in the predominantly African-American Second Baptist Church.
"Whenever I came for a visit, I had to make time in my schedule for whatever sports activity the church was involved in, because that was where my brother would be," Ms. Ellis said.
She said her brother always felt it was important to be involved in the community. In 1995 he joined a successful campaign by Owen County residents to stop FET Engineering from building a factory in Owenton to make plastic parts for cars. Mr. Ellis thought the chemicals the factory would use would become a safety hazard.
Survivors include a son, Raphe Ellis of Monterey; a daughter, Sara Ellis Claxon of Monterey; brothers, James Ellis of Shelbyville and Kennett Ellis of Louisville; other sisters, Marlene Payne of Berea and Debbie Ellis of Crestwood; and a foster sister, Sue LaFollette of Simpsonville.
Services will be at 1 p.m. Monday at Second Street Baptist Church, New Liberty. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday at McDonald Funeral Home, Main Street, Owenton. Burial will be in Bethel Cemetery, Leota, Ind. Memorials are suggested to the church.
