Elfers Charles 190731 p1
Death Very Unexpected; Charles Elfers Passes at Modesto Following an Attack of Appendicitis; Suddenly stricken with
appendicitis last Saturday, Charles Elfers, prominent ranchman north f Patterson, died Tuesday evening at a Modesto
sanitarium , where he was taken for an opera ion which proved of no avail. The sudden nature of his taking was a
profound shock to his family and friends, as he had been in the best of health and the attack came without warning.
The operation was performed as soon as possible after the nature of the illness  was discovered Saturday, but the case had
developed too far and the end came Tuesday night. Mr. Elfers had been a resident of the Patterson section for the past
three  years, having a ranch between here and Westley, where he had made his home with his wife and little daughter,
aged 2,who survive him.   His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Elfers, and sister, Miss Ruth Elfers, reside at Crows
Landing, where Charley spent his childhood days on the home ranch.  Their many friends sympathize with the family in
their bereavement. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock, with interment in Del Puerto cemetery, and
friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.
