Biography:

Ellis Theobald Jeeves, the son of Isaac and Ann (nee Theobald) was a member of one of the first pioneer families of Mt Dandenong, and had been associated with development and improvement of district since early settlement. Reared in days of hardship and struggle, he became a many-sided man, always equal to the emergency of the moment, such as setting his own broken leg. He was a lover of truth and justice, a reader and thinker, and thoughtful speaker with dry and biting humour. A horse lover and horse master he would never part with a faithful team horse unless he was sure of a good home for it. Ellis and Eliza operated Mount Joy guest house at Kalorama. As a coach proprietor he sustained a three times a day service between the mountain and Croydon. To provide for this service he had up to 50 horses based at Montrose. He died in harness, almost on the road, at a fatal accident at Sassafrass. There was a large gathering of friends at Lilydale cemetery. [Lilydale Express 08-07-1921]
