MRS. TRISTRAM DIES
Wife of Oak Park Village Clerk/Prominent in Activities of Grace Church,
Passes Away
On the evening of Saturday, October 30, at her home, 319 Maple, Ella Merrill Tristram, after many weary months of suffering, passed from this life into the life eternal. For several days those around her bedside had realized that the fulfillment of her life was not far away, yet so quietly and so peacefully did; she slip from the material into the spiritual world that there seemed—
Not
So much as even the lifting of a latch—
Only a step into the open air
Out of a tent already luminous, 1
With light that shines thru its transparent walls.
Ella Merrill was born at New Canaan, Conn., May 29, 1849. Here she grew into girlhood and here among her early associates she knew James E. Tristram, Whom he married in 1872. They came to Chicago to reside, where were born to them two daughters, Lillian, Mrs. William Sharp, who died in 1897, and Edna, who married Eugene Heald of Oak Park in 1895.
Thirty-three years ago they removed to Oak Park and during these years have been closely identified with all that has made for the progress and betterment of the community.
Affiliating themselves with Grace Episcopal church when it was a mission, Mrs. Tristram had given the best years of her life to faithful service in the upbuilding of the church she loved.
She was a member of the Nineteenth Century club, of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and of the auxiliary of the Oak Park hospital.
She is survived by her husband, J. E. Tristram, so well known in this community; her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Heald of Oak Park, and her aged mother, Mrs. Underwood. Our deep sympathy goes out to them in their great loss.
The last service to mark the passing of Mrs. Tristram was held at her late residence Tuesday afternoon. Rev. F. R. Godolphin of Grace church read the burial service, the choir she loved rendering appropriate music. In this home where she ad known her greatest happiness, amid autumn's most glorious offering of flowers and foliage, tributes from loving friends, she rested beneath a blanket of roses, and from thence they bore her out into the beautiful Indian summer sunshine to Forest Home, where the final commitment was read.
