      Mrs. D.C. Elliott Died Unexpectedly

      Friends of Mrs. D.C. Elliott were very much surprised and saddened when the news of her passing was conveyed Wednesday morning. She had worked in her garden onthe days previous and in the evening enjoyed an automobile ride with her son. She passed away during the night and in the morning was found dead in her bed by a neighbor, Mrs. Robert Warner. Mrs. Elliott was unusually active for her age. A few weeks ago she, with her son and other relatives, took a motor trip to Missouri to visit her brother in that state.

      Matilda Krapf was born March 7, 1863 in Elkland township and was married to David C. Elliott of Caro in 1881. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott lived in the state of Massachusetts from 1892 to 1905 when they returned to Cass City.

      Mrs. Elliott was a faithful member of the Evangelical church, of the Sundays School, the Woman's Missionary Society and the Ladies Aid.

      She is survived by one son, Burton A. Elliott; two grandsons, Leonard E. of Ubly and Francis E. of Bay City; one great grandson; two brothers, G.E. Krapf of Cass City and William Krapf of Hornersville, Mo. A son died in infancy and Mr. Elliott 12 year ago.

      Funeral services will be conducted Friday by Rev. S. P Kirn at one o'clock in her home and at two in the Evangelical church. The remains will be interred in Elkland cemetery.
