Her husband preceded her in death August 2, 1920, a son, Herbert J,. died in 1904, and her daughter, Mrs. O. L. Sohl, in 1921.

The remains have been taken to the home of her son, John C. Ellwanger, 1652 Lawndale avenue, where funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2;30 o’clock. Dr. A. R. McLaughlin of First Congregational church will officiate. Interment will be in Linwood.
