The death occurred this morning, at her residence, 35 Hollis street, of Ellie S., widow of Cotton ALMON, son of the late Senator ALMON, and a member of one of the most distinguished families in this province. Mrs. ALMON had been in declining health for some months, and her condition has all along been recognized as one to cause much solicitude, especially in view of her age - 70 years. However, although not unexpected by those familiar with the state of her health, the news of her death will be received with deep regret by her very many friends thoughout the province, as that of a beloved "lady of the old school," a type now vanishing rapidly - indeed almost extinct.
Mrs. ALMON, who was Miss DODD, was a cousin of Judge DODD, of Cape Breton, of honored memory. She was personally charming, and a devoted churchwoman, her activity and interest in all branches of the work of the parish of St. Paul, of which church she was a member, making her death specially felt there. Up to the time of her last illness she was the treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary of the parish. She is survived by three children - a son, Dr. W. Bruce ALMON; and two daughters, Misses Susan and Caroline ALMON.
