Ed Mayhew, Left For Denver Last Evening
----------
Elijah Mayhew died at a hospital in Denver, Colorado, at 1:30 p.m. Friday, of Bright's disease and asthma, of which he had been a lifetime sufferer. A score or more of years ago he resided in this city, his early training being received in the Shelbyville schools and business institutions.
His career embraced many professions, in each of which he attained success. For many years in Shelbyville he was a bookkeeper and was regarded as one of the most proficient following that profession. He was an expert penman and for a number of years was a professor in a Terre Haute business college.
Mr. Mayhew was a musician of ability, completely mastering the most difficult of all musical instruments, the violin. He served a number of years in governmental service in Washington. Mr. Mayhew was an old soldier, serving his country during the stirring scenes of the war of the rebellion. After going west he served a number of years as bookkeeper on a large newspaper published at Denver. The last four years of his life were spent in the hospital where he died.
He was seventy-three years of age and was a brother of Miss Amanda Mayhew and Edward Mayhew, of west Broadway, this city. The telegram conveying the sad news reached the family Friday afternoon. Edward Mayhew started west on a late train to attend the funeral, which will be held in Denver. His wife and daughter are also buried there.

Mr. Mayhew came to the County in the year 1818. For more than half a century he resided in what is now the city of Shelbyville, seeing it pass through all its stages from a forest to one of the most beautiful cities of the State. In all enterprises for the advancement of education, temperance and morals, Mr. Mayhew took a leading and active part. In his long residence he gained the reputation of being thoroughly honest and conscientious in all his convictions and dealings, and had in an eminent degree the respect and confidence of this community.
The funeral services, on Wednesday of last week, was conducted by Rev. Sluter, of the First Presbyterian Church, who delivered a very appropriate and eloquent discourse. A large procession followed the remains to the cemetery, the pall-bearers being old citizens who had been associates of the deceased for more that fifty years. They were: Isaac H. Wilson, S. L. Vanpelt, Leo H. Worland, W. E. Bone, Jeremiah Bennett and J. M. Barwick.
