Obituary

News reached this city Monday morning of the death of Mrs. Miles Emery of 
Clinton at 9 o’clock the same morning. This was very sad and unexpected news, 
she having visited her mother in this city about ten days previous.

Ellen Lavina Blake was born October 6, 1852, in Bangor, Franklin county, N. Y., 
and removed to Maquoketa with her parents in September, 1865. She was married 
to Miles J. Emery in this city in 1878 and continued a residence here until 
removing to Clinton about 1894. Last week she was taken sick with pneumonia 
which had such a hold on her system that she soon succumbed to the inevitable 
and passed out at her home in Clinton on the morning of Feb. 24. 1902.  She 
leaves a husband and two daughters, Iva and May, to mourn the loss of a kind 
and loving wife and mother. A mother, three brothers, George, D. C. and Albert, 
of this city and three sisters, Mrs. L. B. McDonald of this city and Mrs. Jane 
Pangborn and Mrs. Effie Thomas of Colorado survive her.

Mrs. McDonald and Albert left for Clinton Monday and accompanied the remains to 
this city last evening. Funeral service will be held from the Methodist church 
at 2 o’clock this (Wednesday) afternoon.
