DEATH OF CHAS. E. ELMER.
HE PASSES AWAY THIS MORNING.
Death Comes After a Long Period of Illness
At 4 o'clock this morning occurred the death of Charles E. Elmer, Esq., long one of Bridgeton's most prominent citizens and perhaps the most widely known of the numerous family of that name in this city.
Mr. Elmer has been very close at death's door for a week or more and his death was not unexpected. For two days he has been unconscious and he died painlessly. It has been since last May, we believe, that he has been confined to his bed, though for nearly two years he had not enjoyed the customary good health which marked his life up to that time. Steadily he has been sinking, and it was long ago seen that in all human probability, this would be his last illness. Sclerosis (hardening) of the liver was the disease which baffled the skill of the physicians.
Mr. Elmer was born March 27, 1819, so that he was at the time of his death in his 70th year. He was the son of Daniel Elmer 5th and Martha E. Potter, daughter of Col. David Potter. He was named Charles Ewing, after Chief Justice Ewing.
He was educated at Lawrenceville, a school which has furnished the early education of so many men afterward prominent in this State, and took a partial course in Princeton. He studied law under his father, Judge Daniel Elmer, and was admitted to the bar in September 1843, In about 1845 he entered partnership with John T Nixon, and continued with him in the practice of law for about ten years. Mr.Elmer has held other positions of trust and honor.
Possessed of ample means he has for many years past been retired from practice, enjoying life in a less public way with his family at his home on Broad street. Mr. Elmer married Mary, daughter of Dr. William Elmer 1st on June 13, 1844. She was distantly related to him. She with two children, Mary and Daniel 7th, survive him. Martha Potter Elmer, the oldest child died in 1848, when less than two years of age.
Mr. Elmer was a man of fine appearance and one who would attract notice anywhere; a man of strong points of character; his integrity was of the strictest and his word was as good as his bond; he was plain in speech and dislike hypocrisy and sham wherever found. His death will be mourned by a large circle of friends and relatives extending through several generations.
