Ely Daughter

Dr. Ely received a telegram last Wednesday evening notifying him of the death of his daughter at a hospital in Buffalo, N.Y., where she had been lying sick for several days.

The doctor started Thursday morning for Rockford, Ill., where he met relatives with the body. The funeral and burial took place on Saturday at Argyle, near Rockford, at the Scotch Presbyterian church, where Dr. Ely was pastor for several years. He arrived home today.

The daughter of Dr. Ely, who has been an invalid for a long time, has recently undergone a serious operation in a hospital at Buffalo, N. Y. She has been in a very precarious situation and the news of her condition from day to day has been looked for with anxiety and apprehension. The news so far has not been of a very hopeful character. The many friends of Dr. Ely sympathize deeply with him in his affliction. Later—A dispatch today announces that she is dead.
