The Death of Mrs. E. J. Lee, formerly a resident of Elwood, is peculiarly sad. For some years she and her family have been residents of Chicago. On Wednesday she had occasion to cross the tracks of the C. B. & Q. railway in Chicago, at a place where a newly improved street crossed the several tracks. A full public highway had not yet been allowed at this crossing and the usual sign was up warning the public. She was struck by a passing engine and instantly killed. The railroad company at once had the body removed to the morgue and a complete survey of the site taken, as was also everything necessary for use should a damage suit be instituted against the company in behalf of the deceased. The deceased was a sister of I.P. Boyden, Cora Boyden and W. C. Boyden, of this city, and the daughter of W. W. Boyden. The body arrived Saturday afternoon from Chicago and was met at the depot by a large concourse of friends and relatives who had assembled to pay their last respects to the deceased. The funeral services were held at W. W. Boyden's residence Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock by Rev. T. M. Guild, after which interment in the city cemetery. Mrs. Lee was well known to our citizens and the sad accident that resulted in her death is greatly to be deplored.
