OREGON CITY, Or., April 5.--(Special)--Frederick A. Ely, one of the well known residents of Clackamas County, whose residence has been for the past year at Gladstone, died at the family home today of neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Ely had been enjoying the best of health, and only on Wednesday
enjoyed a fishing trip to the falls, where he passed the afternoon. On Thursday evening he was taken ill, but his condition was not considered serious, and the children, of this city, were not advised of his illness until his death this morning, which occurred shortly after being stricken with a second attack.
Mrs. Ely and her daughter, Mrs. Clara Williams, were at his side when he passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Ely celebrated their forty-fifth wedding anniversary Thursday, April 4.
