Mrs. J. A. Vandervoort Mrs. J. A. Vandervoort, for many years a resident of Elmwood, and later or Peoria, died Thursday, April twenty-eight as a result of an accident in which she sustained a broken hip. Mrs. Vandervoort had been spending the winter in Chicago with her daughter, Mrs. E. C. Wiley and it was in her home that the accident occured. Owing to her age and feebleness the shock of the fall was more than her strength could endure. The funeral services were held in Peoria last Saturday afternoon, and Mrs. Vandervoort's body was brought to Elmwood for burial. The following is a brief sketch of her life. Eleanor E. Jones was born March 30th, 1829 in Chautauqua county, New York. When she was a small child her parents moved to Canada, where, in 1849 she was married to Joseph A. Vandervoort. In 1859 they moved to Illinois settling in Elmwood. In 1893 she went to Peoria with Dr. and Mrs. Sloan with whom she has made her home since the death of her husband in 1887. In Canada, Mrs. Vandervoort was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, but after coming to Elmwood, she united with the Congreataional Church of this town and later with the First Congretaional Church of Peoria. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. E. C. Wiley of Chicago and Mrs. W. T. Sloan of Peoria and Mr. W. M. Vandervoort of Chicago. Two sons died in infancy. Two sisters, Mrs James Venn and Mrs William Douglas and one brother Mr. Darius Jones are still living. Mrs Vandervoort was eighty-one years of age.
