Mrs. Elsworth Mapes died yesterday afternoon at her home in Moline. Her maiden name was Pamelia Pettibone and she was born in Oswego county, N. Y., March 4, 1809, and married Mr. Mapes June 28, 1826, at Mt. Pleasant, Wayne county, Pa. In August, 1854, they removed to Moline, where they have resided ever since, and are well known to nearly everyone in the city. Eight children were born to them, five of whom survive: Brown, Henry, Anthony, Mrs. Lucia Kidder and Mrs. A. L. Dimock. Mrs. Mapes had been quite sick for some time, but the past few days had appeared much improved, being able to sit up, and seeming to enjoy herself as usual. Her death was on this account unexpected. The disease was probably dropsy of the heart.
