McElroy, State Sup erintendent of Public Instruction for 12 years, and one of Oregon’s most prominent educators, died suddenly at his home in Eugene early Saturday morning. Professor McElroy retired in his usual good health. About 12:15 he was taken with an intense pain about the heart. He immediately realized that the attack would be fatal, and summoned his family. They had only time to g.t to his side before he expired. Ebenezer Burton McElroy, A. M., Ph. I). was a native of Pennsylva nia. where lie was born September 17.1842, being the youngest of a family of 12 children. His early life was spent on a farm.

His patriotic spirit took poses- sion of him, and lie enlisted as a private in Company B, First West Virg’nia Volunteers. He served in that regiment until 1863, when he was mustered out ami re-inlisted in the One Hundredth Pennsylva nia Volunteer Infantry, and served until July, 1865, when he was again mustered out. After the war he spent two years more pursuing his studies it: col lege, and again took up the work of • • •• - teaching. Professor McElroy was married, t- r in 1869, to Miss Agnes McFadden. ■» Together they came to Oregon in 1874, ai d settled in Corvallis,where he taught one year in the public i school", and the ioi' swi. g year was given the chair of literature in the State Agricultural C .llege, which lie filled until he was elected ytate Superintend-ni of Public Instruo tion in 1880, in which otlice lie served three terms. i Upon retiring from otlice in 1892, he was appointed to s chair in the Ü University of Oregon, which he I tilled until a year ago, when he re signed.
