Tope, Elizabeth [Donaldson]
Death of Mrs. George W. [Donaldson] Tope
Mrs. Elizabeth Tope, widow of the late ‘Squire Geo. W. Tope, of Walnut township, died on the 13th inst., after an illness resulting from a fall on last election day. She was going from one room to another and tripped and fell and though she rallied and went out to her dinner and seemed to be all right, the fall was probably the result of a slight stroke of paralysis, for after dinner in going out in the porch she received an unmistakeable [sic] stroke and fell again dislocating her hip. From this she went to bed, when all sorts of complications seemed to set in, the result most likely, she being 77 years old. Her husband died a year ago last August, aged 81.
The funeral services of Mrs. Tope were conducted Friday, the 15th, by Rev. G.E. Hughes, the burial following by Elliott & Myers at the White graveyard. She was the mother of ten children, Mrs. Eliza Jane Drummond and Mrs. Margaret Carter, of Wellston, John H., Richard and Mrs. Wm. Cremeans and Geo. H. of Harrison, Mrs. Harvey White of Walnut township, and Miss Laura at home. Two, Alva and Mary, are dead. She left over sixty grandchildren and by all her friends and relatives was revered and beloved for her kindly qualities. She was a member of the Congregational church.
