Jesse M. Elting died at his residence in this village on Friday evening after an illness of about three months. His age was 65 years. He had been steadily growing weaker for several weeks past, suffering from an incurable disease, but he had not suffered pain and his mind remained clear. As friends called to see him he would talk with them, with the same pleasure and animation as when in health. With a clear head details of business where settled up and arrangements made for the closing of earthly affairs.
Mr. Elting had lived as a Christian man and as such he died, in the hope of a better world beyond the grave. He had served as superintendent of the Sunday School and an officer in the church. In the choir of the Reformed church he had been one of the singers for a period of about 45 years. Mr. Elting was a man of good judgment and prudence in business matters and was one of the directors of the Huguenot Bank. He was one of the assessors of the town of New Paltz and had carefully performed the duties of that position. Since the death of Edmund Eltinge he had been secretary of the Huguenot Memorial Society and had been a liberal contributor to the funds of the Society and took great interest in its prosperity.
Mr. Elting's ancestors for a period of nearly 200 years had been residents of New Paltz. His father, Mathusalem, his grandfather Philip and his great-grandfather Abraham owned and occupied the farm just north of the corporate bounds of our village still owned in the family. The great-great grandfather of the deceased, Josiah Elting, was a resident of Huguenot Street in this village, and there can hardly be a doubt that in his later years he lived in the old stone house, in which his son Roelif J. afterwards kept a store, and which had been owned by the deceased for many years preceding his death. Josiah's father, Roelif, the first Elting at New Paltz, also quite certainly resided on Huguenot Street, for a few years before moving tot he farm where Edmund Eltinge resided in our day. The deceased was a worth descendant of a long line of honorable ancestors. When a young man, he married Miss Mary Maclaury. They always resided in our village. There are two children, Arthur Elting and Miss Mabel Elting.
