Mrs. L. McElligott Called By Death
The entire community was cast into deep sorrow and gloom on Saturday morning when it was known that Mrs. Lucy McElligott, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Mariposa, had been fatally stricken and had suddenly entered into the shadows of death. Mrs. McElligott, apparently in the best of health, rose early on this morning and had been very busy attending to her household duties when she was stricken with paralysis. Friends and relatives who had called at the home found in a serious condition she soon lost entire consciousness and never rallied. In spite of all that could be done for her by loving hands and medical attention, the angel of death quietly and peacefully came to relieve her. Mrs. Lucy McElligott was born at Bear Valley, Mariposa county, in 1862 and was, at the time of her passing, 59 years, 11 months and I8 days. In this beautiful little valley she spent her childhood and grew into womanhood and was considered one of the most attractive and most popular belles of all the community. In 1801 she became the bride of Patrick McElligott who preceded her to the grave only a few years. To them were born four sons, James P., Maynard H.. and Chas. F. of Mariposa, and Mervin T. of Fresno. Mrs. McElligott was one of God's own women, a devoted wife, a patient loving mother, a kind and charitable friend and neighbor. She was loved and respected by all and her memory will remain fresh and dear in the minds of all who had known her, until they too are called to cross the great divide. Beside the four sons, she is survived by three sisters, Mrs. John Branson, of Madera; Mrs. Annie Gourguet of Fresno and Mrs. Mary English of Oregon, and four grandchildren. The funeral services were held at the home at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the Mariposa. Parlor Native Daughter Lodge of which she had been a charter member. Interment being beside her husband in the family plot in the Masonic cemetery.
