              PHILIP E. ELEVIER Succumbs to Cancer
              
              PHILIP E. ELEVIER died Wednesday night at 7:30
            o'clock at his home, 1506 Belknap street, after
            an illness of many months.
              Cancer of the stomach was the cause of death.
            The disease first became manifest over a year
            ago. Several months ago he was taken to a local
            hospital where an operation was performed. At
            that time it was believed that he could live but
            a few days. He improved somewhat and latter (sic)
            was removed to his home.
              The ravages of the malady continued to sap his
            strength and last Sunday evening he sank into an
            unconcious state. From that time until he died
            the physicians gave no hope of his recovery. It
            is said that MR. ELEVIER'S sufferings for the
            past three or four months have been great. Large
            amounts of morphine were injected into his system
            but only seemed to act as a semi-relief.
              MR. ELEVIER was born in Bellville, Ont., Feb.
            28, 1865 and was 45 years of age at the time of
            his death. He came to Duluth in 1887 and for
            several years has been with the Superior Water
            & Power company in this city. His first position
            with that concern was as a lineman.
              It was not long until he had made his way up-
            ward and was appointed to the position of super-
            intendent of the electrical department, which he
            held up to the time of his death.
              He is survived by his widow and three children,
            TILLIE aged 18 years, WILLIAM 17 and HAROLD 5.
            He is also survived by his mother, MRS. C. M.
            ELEVIER, a brother, ALONZO ELEVIER of Ponce Park,
            Fla., and sister, MRS. GEO. HEHL of Portsmouth,
            Ohio.
              He was a member of the Masonic order and of
            the Royal league. The funeral was held under
            the direction of the Masons from the Masonic
            Temple Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The body
            was buried in Greenwood cemetery beside that 
            of his son CHARLES.
