Mrs. Elvina Brockway, widow of John A. Brockway, died at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the family residence, 305 West Cerro Gordo street. She was 84 years old last August. Her death was due to the infirmities of age but was doubtless hastened by injuries sustained in a fall two years ago last December. Since then she had been unable to walk.
Mrs. Brockway's maiden name was Elvina Erisman. She was born in Middletown, Pa. Aug 1, 1838. With her parents, she came to Illinois in 1856. For a short time the family lived at Monticello, moving to Decatur in 1857 and this has been her home ever since. She and John A. Brockway were married here Nov. 7, 1860.
She is survived by the following children: William E. Brockway, Fred C. Brockway, John A. Brockway Jr. and Miss Minnie Brockway, all of Decatur; Frank L. Brockway of Los Angeles, Ca. and Albert W. Brockway of Pittsburgh, Pa. She also leaves the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. B.F. Doty and Miss Ellen Erisman of Decatur, Florence Padgett of Decatur, William H. Erisman of Storm City,Kan., Edward Erisman of Oklahoma City and Harry Erisman of Springfield,Mo. and Mrs. Margaret Allison of Boston, Mass.
