Mrs. Harvey Esaley

Mrs. Ada Esaley, wife of Harvey Esaley, died at her home, 323 High street, at 1 
a.m., Friday, Aug. 15th, from diphtheria and pneumonia, aged 40 years.

The death of Mrs. Esaley is a sad one, as within the past month, two children, 
Bernice, aged 12 years, and Reul, 8 years, died after brief illnesses, from 
diphtheria.  Two other children were also down with the disease, but had 
recovered, the quarantine having been raised last Saturday.

Mrs. Esaley was taken ill on Monday, and after an examination by the family 
physician, it was found that the mother, who had nursed her children during 
their illness, had contracted the dreaded disease.  The home was again 
quarantined on Wednesday.

The case is environed by extreme sadness, and Mr. Esaley and the remaining 
member so the family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad 
bereavement.

The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Swartz, of Grangeville, and 
besides her husband and parents, is survived by seven children, all at home – 
Earl, Vera, Rodger, Helen, Le Roy, Claude and Iva, the latter but nine months 
old.  She is also survived by three brothers, George Swartz, of York; Charles, 
of Benton, Illinois; Milton, of Grangeville, and two sisters, Mrs. J. L. 
Brodbeck, of Carlisle street, and Mrs. Paul Nace, of Blooming Grove.

Interment privately made Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock on the family lot in Mt. 
Olivet cemetery.  Services were conducted at the grave by Rev. M. J. Roth, of 
Trinity Reformed church.
