At 51 South Carpenter St., Chicago, July 24, 1894, of diabetes, Eliza Clark Ordway.
Sister Ordway was born in Brookfield, N. Y., Mar. 31, 1833. She was converted in her young womanhood while attending DeRuyter Academy, and baptized by Elder Irish. From DeRuyter her membership was subsequently transferred to her home church, West Edmeston. On Feb. 22, 1853, she was married to Ira J. Ordway. In the spring of 1871 they moved to Chicago, with which city their names are intimately associated by Seventh-day Baptists. In 1883 she became a constituent member of the Chicago Church, to whose vows she remained faithful until she was transferred to the church triumphant. This home in the great bustling city of the West has been a centre of influence, and of that home she was the worthy queen. Of this character, so pure and strong, and this life, held in such loving remembrance, we hope to speak more fully later. Services were conducted at the home July 25th by the pastor, assisted by N. O. Moore, former superintendent of the Mission School. The body was laid to rest at Milton, July 26th, where also memorial services were held, her pastor being assisted by Pastor Dunn and President Whitford. L. C. R.
