The body of Elias Hoffman, aged 63 years, 3 months and 12 days, was found cold in death in his bed shortly before 6 o'clock this morning, by his wife, at his home, 715 Church Street. Death was due to heart failure. Deceased had been in ill health for the past four weeks, but was about the house all the time. This morning at 5 o'clock, in accordance with her custom, Mrs. Hoffman arose and after bidding good morning to her husband, went down stairs to prepare the morning meal for the family. About three-quarters of an hour later she went to her husband's room with his usual morning cup of tea and was horrified to find that he had passed away. The shock of the sudden demise has greatly affected deceased's aged wife. Mr. Hoffman was a native of Windsor Township. He was a laborer there for many years, and about a quarter of a century ago, removed to this city. For a number of years he was employed at the Reading Car Shops as a blacksmith helper. For four years, up to the time of his illness, he was janitor of the Church and Oley Street school building. He was a well known member of the German Baptist Brethren Church. Deceased was married twice. His first wife, Susanna Hummel, preceded him in death some years. Besides his second wife, Amelia (nee Reber), there survive these children from his first wife: Sara, wife of Levi Ziegler, and Mahlon Hoffman, of Royersford, and Mary, wife of Irvin Firestine, of Myerstown; also seven children by his second wife, Nora, wife of Jacob Kaucher; Samuel Hoffman, Annie, wife of Joseph Seyfert; Emma, wife of E. Oxenreider; Katie, wife of Henry Snyder; all of this city; Edward and Mary Hoffman, at home; these brothers and sisters, Levi, Daniel and Frank, and Priscilla Hoffman, of Schwenksville; Susan, wife of Gottlieb Beyerle, of Phoenixville, and several grandchildren.
