Information: Theodocia Haynes McElfresh was born in Woodsville, Ohio in January 1848, and died in the Starkey hospital Sunday morning, May 25, 1924, following an operation for appendicitis. She came to Ravenswood about 40 years ago, this being her home ever since. She was three times married, but outlived each of her husbands, and bore no children, although she leaves numerous nieces and nephews. Since early girlhood she has been a member of the Presbyterian Church and at the time of her death held membership in the Eastern Star and Women's Relief Corps. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday by Rev. W. A. Brown, her pastor, and the Eastern Star ritualistic services were held at the grave. A large crowd attending these services attested the esteem in which she was held.
