"RESPECTED LADY PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Eliza E. Selfridge Dies of Heart Trouble After Long Illness.

Mrs. Eliza E. Selfridge, widow  of the late Oliver B. Selfridge and one of the 
most respected of the older citizens of Lima, died at her home, 512 west 
Market street, at 8 o’clock last night, following an illness of several weeks 
duration from heart trouble.  Mrs. Selfridge’s condition had been very serious 
for the past week, and her death was not wholly unexpected.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Camp and was born in Wellsville, 
Jefferson county, Ohio, August 6, 1832, having just passed her eighty-fifth 
birthday at the time of her death.  On April 17, 1849, she was married to O. 
B. Selfridge, Sr., and they removed to Lima in 1864, and have made this place 
their home ever since.

Mr. Selfridge died in 1888, and since that time the mother has resided with 
her children in this city.  Three children, C. C. Selfridge, O. B. Selfridge 
and Mrs. Martha Standish, with whom Mrs. Selfridge lived, are surviving 
children.  Five grandchildren and two great grandchildren are also left to 
mourn her death.

Rev. Thomas Knox pastor of the Presbyterian church, where the deceased was a 
devout member, will conduct funeral services at 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon 
at the late residence, 512 west Market street.  Interment will be made in 
Woodlawn cemetery at the conclusion of the services.
