AT BRIGHTLOOK
Prominent St. J. Citizen
Never Recovered from
Operation a Week Ago
Henry G. Ely died at Brightlook
hospital at 8 o'clock Thursday evening
following an operation for appendicitis just a week ago.
Mr. Ely was born in Littleton, N.H., Jan. 2, 1842, where his
early life was spent. When 20 years old, and just after
completing the freshman year at Dartmouth college, he
enlisted for nine months service in
the war in response to President Lincoln's call. He was a member
of Company K, 15th, Vermont regiment, and was mustered into
service Oct. 22, 1862. He was mustered out Aug 5, 1865. He then
came to St.Johnsbury and was for a time employed in the Passumpsic
Savings bank.
Later he went to Northfield.Vt., where he was cashier of the First
National bank for several years. Mr.Ely returned to St. Johnsbury
in 1874 to enter the office of the fork and hoe factory established
on the Moose river by his father, George W. Ely, in 1848. Upon the
death of his father in 1876 he became a member of the firm and
when the Ely Hoe & Fork company was incorporated in 1880 he was
elected treasurer and later president. He held this offìce until 1902
when the corporation was merged with the American Fork & Hoe
company. Since that time he has been a director in the latter concern
and manager of the Ely works.
Mr. Ely married at St. Johnsbury on Oct. 31, 1867, Miss Adelaide Newell,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Selim Newell. For a few years after their
marriage they lived in Northfield coming back here in 1874. Two years
ago this fall they celebrated their golden wedding with a family reunion
at which all the children and grandchildren were present except
Capt. Henry Ely Kyburg, who was at that time a second lieutenant in
Gen. Pershing's army. Besides his wife he leaves four daughters, Ellen,
wife of George W. Kyburg of Springfield, Mass., Miss Caroline Denison
Ely, Mrs. Margaret E., wife of Lindol M. Scott; Miss Mary Redington Ely,
all of St. Johnsbury. The four grand children are Dorothy Adelaide,
Capt. Henry Ely and Paul Harvey, children of Mr. and Mrs. Kyburg, and
Carolyn Ely, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott. Of a family of eight children
only one brother is living, William H. Ely, of Hoosic Falls, N. Y. . Among
the relatives living at a distance who were unable to be here. are two
nieces, Mrs. Robert Hannah of Fergus Falls, Minn., and Mrs. Charles
Macwhorter of Chicago, and a nephew, Philip Eastman of Topeka, Kan.
Mr. Ely was a trustee of the Passumpsic Savings bank, a member of
Chamberlin Post;, G. A. R., and a life deacon of the South Congregational
church. He was through his lifetime one of our leading manufacturers,
a loyal citizen of the town and deeply interested in its welfare. He was
ever ready to help in any movement for a better St. Johnsbury and
was liberal in his support of every cause. In the South church he was
many years an active member and St. Johnsbury may well mourn the
loss of one of its best citizens.
The funeral will be held at the South church vestry Saturday afternoon
at two o'clock conducted by his pastor, Rev. Dr. F. A. Poole.
