Excerpt from biographical sketch of Hon. Chauncey Ellwood.
Portrait and Biographical Album of DeKalb County, Illinois
Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1885, pages 240-246. 
Hon. Chauncey Ellwood, Mayor of Sycamore (1885).
Mr. Ellwood was again married in November, 1857, in Ionia, Mich., to Helen E.,
daughter of Samuel and Anna Dexter. Three children were born of this marriage:
Florence was born Nov. 14, 1858, and died Sept. 30, 1859; John D. was born Feb.
9, 1860, and is now a resident of De Kalb. He married Emma, daughter of Thomas
and Eleanor Combs, of the city of De Kalb. Anna was born Sept. 11, 1864. Their
mother died March 5, 1866, at Sycamore. She was a lady of finely disciplined
mind and possessed unusual earnestness and decision of character. Her married
life was passed in the conscientious discharge of every duty as wife and mother.
The qualities she exercised as a friend and neighbor built for her a memorial
more enduring than marble, and she is still mentioned with admiration and
appreciation by those who were the objects of her consideration and esteem.
