DEATH SUMMONS Mrs. Mary Ellen Reding Died Last Evening at Home of Sister. MRS. JOHN R. PORTER General Breakdown Due to Infirmities of Age Was the Cause. Mrs. Mary Ellen Davis Reding, for forty years a resident of Adams county, died last evening at 8:15 o’clock at the home of her sister, Mrs. John R. Porter, on Mercer avenue, death being caused from a general breakdown of the Important organs, brought about mainly through the infirmities of age. Mrs. Reding began complaining of bad health only about three weeks ago. A week ago yesterday she became so bad, however, that it was decided best to remove her from her home on First street to the home of her sister, where better care and nursing could be given her. She continued to decline however, until death relieved her last evening. Mrs. Reding was born March 4, 1849, in Guernsey county, Ohio, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davis. She was married early in life to William E. Reding and the couple then moved to Blue Creek township, Adams county. They resided on their farm there until Mr. Reding’s death, which occurred seven years ago. Mrs. Reding then broke up the old homestead and lived for a number of years with her daughter, Mrs. Orpha Bartling, of Fort Wayne. | Later she returned to this city and made her home on First street. The deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Anna Gilphen. of Randolph county; one adopted daughter, Mrs. Orpha Bartling, of Fort Wayne, and one adopted son, Roy Reding, of Goshen. Ohio. One sister and three brothers also survive, they being Mrs. John R. Porter of this city, Robert Davis of South Salem. Ind., and Marion and David, of Springfield, Mo.
