Last evening at 5 o'clock, occurred the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Ebert, wife of Reverend O. Ebert, at her home on North Walnut Street. Mrs. Ebert had been comparatively well and death came very suddenly, either of heart trouble or paralysis of the brain. She arose yesterday morning as usual, not feeling the best but thought nothing serious of it. Later in the morning she again took to her bed and gradually grew worse until death came.
Mrs. Ebert was born in Ashland County, Ohio, March 2, 1837, which made her fifty-seven years, eight months and seventeen days old at the time of her death. A loving husband and three daughters survive her.
Mr. Ebert was is Corning at the time and was telegraphed but arrived too late to see his wife alive. The three daughters, Mrs. Hawley, of Paw Paw, Michigan, who happened to be visiting here, Mrs. T.F. Gilcrest and Mrs. John Ledgerwood, of this city, were at her bedside when she passed away. She was a devout Christian woman, being a member of the Christian Church, and her spirit has taken its flight to that bright shore beyond. The funeral services will be held at the family home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Reverend Swartz. Interment will occur at Graceland.
