• ERNEST F. FELLOWS. The business interests of Long Beach have an enterprising representative in E. F. Fellows, who has been located in this city since December, 1902, engaged in the grocery business at No. 120-122 West Second street. Mr. Fellows is a native of Newark, Wayne county, N. Y., being the second in a family of two sons and one daughter, of whom he is the only one now living. His father, Edgar B. Fellows, is also a native of the Empire state, where he is now making his home retired from the active cares of life. He is a very prominent man in Monroe county, having served for twelve or fifteen years as deputy sheriff. He is a veteran of the Civil war, having served over a year in the One Hundred and Fifteenth New York Volunteer Infantry. His wife, formerly Samantha A. Osborne, a native of Wayne county, N. Y., died in her native state.
E. F. Fellows received his education in the public schools of Monroe county, N. Y., where he was reared from early childhood, after which he attended the Brockport Normal and also took a commercial course in Oberlin, Ohio. Following his business training he engaged in the grocery business in Brockport in 1877 and continued successfully in that location for sixteen years. On account of his health he gave up his business and coming to California located in Pomona, where he purchased a fruit ranch of citrus and deciduous trees. Two years later he sold and entered the employ of the Chino Valley Beet Sugar Company in the capacity of bookkeeper, in which position he continued for two years, when, in January, 1897, he came to Los Angeles and with a partner established a retail grocery business at the corner of Pico and Trenton streets. The new firm met with success in their enterprise and remained in that location for six years. In June, 1902, Mr. Fellows sold out his interests and in December of the same year came to Long Beach and purchased his present grocery business, located at No. 120-122 West Second street, where he has since built up an extensive and lucrative custom, enlarging his stock and in many ways improving his business. He has also taken an active interest in the real-estate development of Long Beach and has invested in several lots.
In Brockport, N. Y., Mr. Fellows was united in marriage with Jennie R. Hoyt, a native of that state, and they have one daughter, Maud, the wife of W. W. Martin of Pasadena. In his fraternal relations Mr. Fellows is a member of Long Beach Lodge No. 327, F. & A. M. Politically he is a Republican and in religion belongs to the First Methodist Episcopal Church. At the organization of the Sons of Veterans in New York he was elected captain of Milo Stork Camp No. 30, elected to major at the state encampment and the following year, 1888, elected colonel of the state division, taking a very active interest in the organization.620
