Mrs. Mary Ellen Slater, wife of Christian A. Slater, died at her residence in Callensburg, Pa., on Monday June 21, 1909 at the age of 42 years, 10 months, and 6 days. Death was caused by locomotor ataxia or creeping paralysis.

She was a faithful and sincere member of the Reformed church at Mt. Zion.
