Mrs. Elizabeth Falley Ninde, widow of Bishop William X. Ninde, of the Methodist Episcopal church, died at her residence at 26 Hendale avenue, Detroit, Monday at 5:15 o'clock a. m. Mrs. Ninde had been ill but 48 hours of chronic bronchitis, which developed acute symptoms Sunday. Her death follows two years and two days the demise of her husband, who passed away Jan. 3, 1901.

Elizabeth Falley was born in Fulton, N. Y., the daughter of Frederick Falley, founder of Falley seminary. The daughter received her education in Fulton and Brooklyn, and in 1857 was married to W. X. Ninde. The young couple lived for 10 years in Cincinnati, where the rising minister was serving a pastorate, and in 1870 they came to Detroit, where Rev. Ninde became the pastor of the Central Methodist church.

Following their residence in Detroit, Rev. Ninde and wife were located in Evanston and at Topeka, Kas. It was while there that the bishop was conferred on Dr. Ninde, in 1888. The return to Detroit was made in 1892, where the family had since resided.

Four children survive: Edward S (?), pastor of the First Methodist church in Ann Arbor; Mary L., George F. and Frederick W., who are students at the University of Michigan. The children were able to reach the mother's bedside before the end came, and were not apprehensive of a fatal termination of her illness till 10 o'clock last night. Mrs. Ninde was active in all church work, and was for a number of years president of the Women's Foreign Missionary society of the Detroit district. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon.
