obituary found in Bluffton Evening News, Bluffton, Indiana, Sept. 27, 1903.
Mrs Ellen Redding passed away at 5:30 o'clock Saturday evening at Barbers Mills, after a sickness of about three weeks with stomach disease and complications which developed peculiar conditions. Mrs Redding had lived in a home of her own at Barbers Mills since selling her farm and about three weeks ago when she became ill was found wandering along the road and apparently not realizing where she was. She was then taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs Levi Johnson, also living at Barbers Mills, where she was tenderly cared for until death relieved her sufferings. During her illness she labored under a hallucinate on that something was trying to tear off and carry away her clothing and she had to be held in bed.
The decedent, Ellen Newman Redding, widow of Cornelius Redding, was born in Indiana and has lived in Wells county since a girl seven years of age, except a short period during her married life when she and her husband, who died about twenty-five years and resided in Huntington County. At her death she was age 75 years, eleven months and twenty-seven days. She was the last survivor of a family of eleven children. Surviving her are four children, Walter L. Redding, and Mrs. Levi Johnson, of Barbers Mills, Mrs Lafayette Mossburg, of this city; and T. P. Redding, of Benzonia, Mich.
Owing to the nature of the sickness that caused her death it was advised that the funeral be held as soon as possible and the servies were held at 3:30 Sunday afternoon, at the Barbers Mills M. E. Church, with burial at that place. Mrs Redding was a member of the Adventists church, and the funeral services were conducted by Elder Loring, one of the ministers conducting services in this city.
