Prominent Educator.
Hon. E. B. 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. After
completing his education, which he
acquired in his native state, he be
gan teaching, at which lie was en
gaged in 186», when the war broke
out. 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. He has since been devot it
ing his attention to bis farms and
••
stock interests.
