Mrs. Celia Shriver Elgin, the bride of a few months of Dr. Eugene Elgin of East 
Berlin, died suddenly at her home last Saturday, her death being sudden and a 
great shock to her many friends and acquaintances.  The cause of death was acute 
nephritis (kidney trouble), after only several days’ sickness.  She was aged 28 
years and 11 days.  She was the second oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Edward 
Shriver of Hanover, and was married to Dr. Eugene Elgin, a young physician of 
East Berlin, last April.  Besides her husband and parents, she is survived by 
five sisters, Misses Edna Z., Bruce E., Eva, Bernice, and Marguerite Shriver, 
all at home, and a brother, Walter Shriver, of near Hampton.  For some time 
before her marriage she had been employed at the Prowell Millinery.  Funeral was 
Tuesday, brief services at her late home in East Berlin and further services 
were held in the memorial chapel in the Hanover Cemetery by Rev. Geo. W. Nicely 
of St. Mark’s Church, and Rev. F. C. Sternat of the East Berlin Lutheran Church.
