DEATH OF MRS. CATHARINE ELMER.
The venerable Mrs. Catharine Elmer, widow of the late Judge L.Q.C. Elmer, departed this life about one o'clock last night, aged 90 years on the 24th of this month. She was in her usual health and out walking with her daughter, on Saturday afternoon last, but in the evening was taken with a chill from which she never rallied. She had been a well-known resident of Bridgeton for nearly seventy years. She was born in Philadelphia of Scotch ancestry; and was a sister of the late Alderman Peter Hay, who died at a very advanced age in that city.
Mrs. Elmer was the mother of four daughters, three of whom survive her--Catherine, the wife of Col. E. Anson More, of St. Louis, Mo.; Mary, wife of Judge John T. Nixon, U.S. District Court, residing at Trenton, and Miss Caroline, living at the old homestead. Miss Hannah, the eldest, died two years since.
Mrs. Elmer had always been a most exemplary Christian woman, and was highly esteemed by her numerous friends, living and dead, in all the relations of life. She was one of the last links which unite us to the early history of Bridgeton and its vicinity.
