The Portland Observer, Thursday, December 24, 1914


Grief occasioned by the death of her husband, early last month, no doubt 
hastened the demise of Mrs. Ellen Towner, lifelong resident of the vicinity, 
who expired at her home on Smith street at 7:15 Saturday morning, following a 
hopeless illness extending over a period of three years.

Mrs. Towner’s maiden name was Ellen Knight.  She was 66 years of age and was 
married to “Uncle” William Towner, of Danby, 43 years ago.  The couple had 
been residents of the village for the past five years, owning and occupying 
the house on Smith street known as the Frank Mowers property.  Mr. Towner died 
November 5th, his wife surviving him only a trifle more than a month.

Rev. Wm. W. Slee, of the M.E. church, officiated at the funeral services, 
which were held at the late residence Monday morning at 10:00.  The remains 
were interred beside those of the husband in Danby township cemetery.
