Friends in this city were informed Saturday of the death of Mrs. Ella J. SPOHN, former resident of this city, which occurred at her home 4537 Westminister Place, St. Louis, Mo., following an illness of six years duration due to kidney trouble. The body is to be returned to this city for burial. Mrs. Spohn, who was the widow of the late Dr. J. C. SPOHN, was one of Rochester's most prominent citizens during the 40 years she was a resident of this city. She was a tireless worker in the Presbyterian Church and in all civic projects. She was a large contributor to our library and to our public schools. The deceased [Ella J. REX] was born in Curwensville, Pa., on January 2, 1852, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. E. REX. Her parents moved to this city when she was very young building the dwelling on South Madison street which now houses the American Legion Home. Thirty years ago, following the death of her husband, who was the planner of the SPOHN Orchard west of this city, she moved to Springfield, Mo., and three years later to St. Louis where she has since resided. Her only survivor is her sister, Mrs. Maude E. EDWARDS. Mrs. Edwards will accompany the body on the Wabash railroad from St. Louis to Peru. Funeral services will be held for Mrs. Spohn from the Presbyterian Church here, of which church she was a member, at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Rev. Daniel S. PERRY will be in charge. Burial will be made in the Odd Fellows cemetery where her husband is buried.
