MRS ELIZABETH ELY

  Mrs. Elizabeth Ely, relict of the late William Ely, died on Wednesday, at 
her home, 606 Chestnut street, from the effects of a stroke of paralysis.  
Deceased was highly esteemed by all who knew her and had a large circle of 
friends, who are grieved to learn of her death.
  A friend sends us the following on the death of Mrs. Ely:  On Wednesday 
night, at 9 o'clock, the spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Ely, nee Hinkel, passed 
into the heavenly home, after an illness of about four weeks.  Deceased was 
a resident of this city for more than 40 years, and was highly esteemed by a 
large circle of friends, who will be sorry to hear of her death and will 
testify to her excellent traits of character.  She was a life long, 
consistent member of the Evangelical church and faithfully attended to her 
Christian duties.  She will be sadly missed in homes where she so often 
spent many pleasant and useful days.  She is survived by two sons - John, of 
this city, and Anthony **yard Ely, of Cincinnati, and four sisters and two 
brothers.
