Nickname:<NICK> Ellen According to Mat(t)hias milestones : the genealogy & biographical history of Daniel Mathias, senior (a soldier of the Revolution) of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania & Stark County, Ohio by Dorothy Weiser Seale, Eleanor came to America from England with her parents in 1848 when she was only three years old. The family first settled in North Royalton, Cuyahoga County, Ohio and then relocated to Leipsic, Putnam County, Ohio. "The six Matthias children of Albert and Eleanor are the only descendants of the Harris family from England, for Eleanor's three unmarried brothers were killed in the Civil War and a sister and two brothers died in childhood." (p. 132) In the 1930 Hancock County, Ohio Census, the widowed Eleanor resides with her daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, Morris Darbyshire, in McComb. According to her obituary, Eleanor died at Mary and Morris' home; her death was caused by "bronchitis, following a week's serious illness..." Eleanor was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her obituary states that she and Albert had two children die in infancy. Eleanor and Albert are buried next to each other.
