Mrs. Dora E. Elliott, who resided with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Clendenning, died at her home in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], Tuesday April 21, age 42.  She will be greatly missed as she has spent the greater part of her life with her parents.  She has been afflicted twenty five years with Epilepsy and bore her afflictions very patiently and always with a cheerful and mild disposition.  She was a firm believer in God and took great comfort reading His word.  She was very ambitious, always ready to help when it was needed.  It is only one more gone before to enjoy the reward beyond a life of sorrow.  Only God knows why she was afflicted, she has left a world of care and is at rest with Jesus for it was her one aim that when she came to leave this world Heaven would be her home.  She leaves a father and mother, one son and five sisters and one brother to mourn her loss.  The parents thank all who helped with the singing and those who furnished flowers.  She was the oldest child of seven children and the first to leave this world.
