-----
Mrs. Ellen Chatfield Cottingham was born at Michigan Center, Mich., in 1840. She moved with her parents to Sharon in 1845 and lived on the old Chatfield homestead until she was 18 years old, when she was married to C. C. Cottingham. Three sons were born to them: Fenton G., who lives in Idaho; Ernest, who died in infancy; and Clyde G., who lives in Cleveland. Mrs. Cottingham died after a brief illness, on Sunday, Feb. 24 1907, and was buried Thursday in the Sharon cemetery from her late home, the Rev. Ira Priest of Akron officiating. Nearly her entire life was spent on the two adjoining farms, her father's home and the Cottingham farm. She was a woman of unusual ability and force of character. She was a good wife, a kind mother and a rare neighbor. She was not only filled with neighborly kindness and good will, but she knew how to do things. Her ready sympathy, good sense and quick judgment were relied upon by a host of friends, who ever found her an impartial neighbor and a loyal friend. Her sons and grandchildren have a splendid inheritance from a strong and good woman. Her departure leaves a great gap to her home, her church, the L.C.A., of which she was vice president, and the community. Her influence was blessed; her memory an inspiration.
