"DIPHTHERIA.
Takes one of the City's best and most promising young Women.
Mrs. Frank Ellett, wife of Henry Ellett, died yesterday afternoon of diphtheria. Mrs. Ellett contracted the fatal disease while administering to the sufferings of her little daughter who died a week ago last Saturday. The disease was of a malignant type. The attending physicians, Dr. Callahan and Dr. Lewis, pronounced the cases the worst they had had for twenty years. During the twelve days of excruciating suffering, she bore it patiently and uncomplainingly, and when informed that there was no hope, and in a few hours death would end all, her face lit up with a smile, and looking into that of her husband's said, "I am not afraid to die and am glad that death will soon come." She was conscious to her last breath. While loving hands and anxious hearts could not keep back the destroying angel, death, they did all to make her last moments of life as comfortable as they could possibly be. She was a lady of twenty-eight years of age and of inestimable character. All who knew her speak of her in highest terms of praise. Here she was raised and here she has died. The life of the home has gone out and a husband mourns the loss of a kind, economical, patient and loving helpmate. The mourners stop and question why this affliction, but the unfolding of the years of the great Architect of the Universe will make all clear. The husband and remaining little daughter have the sympathy of all in this hour of sore bereavement. The funeral was private and took place this afternoon."
