On Wednesday night Mrs. Ellen Griffiths, wife of Alexander Griffiths, died unexpectedly. While heart failure was the cause of death, the deceased lady had been ailing for some time. Dr. Colbeck was at once summoned, and Mr. Griffiths, who was at an local meeting of the board of trade, hurried to her bedside. The end came peacefully at 9.30, just ten minutes after his arrival.

She had been a resident of Welland for 27 years, and was born in Crowland, and was the second daughter of the late Alem and Ann Bender. Mrs. Griffiths leaves three sisters and a brother, who were wired of the sad event, and who were at the funeral, which takes place to Doan’s Ridge cemetery at 1.30 this afternoon, from the residence, Division street, Rev. Thompson officiating. The funeral will be private. Besides her husband one daughter, Helena, survives. The sisters and brother are Mrs. Sutherland, Toronto; Mrs. Priestman, Niagara Falls. Mrs. Henderson, Crowland; J.P. Bender, Bay City.
