Mrs. Eta Wheeler.
Whose Idea Inspired
Gerry Society, Dies
Her Rescue of Child, known
as MARY Elem From Life
Of Abuse i'm 1874 Started
World Wide Movement

News Of the death of Mrs. Eta An
gell Wheeler at the home of her niece
in Coldwater, N. Y, reached the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children yesterday. 1t was through her
rescue III 1874 Of -year-old girl,
known as MARY Ellen," that the So
ciety came into being, along with FIVE
hundred similar organizations through
out the world.
While carrying on her ministrations
among the poor of the city Mrs.
Wheeler learned from the lips of dy-
ing woman that for two years little
girl had been virtually imprisoned by
n woman in one of the rear tenements
IN West Forty-first Street, and that the
chld's pitiful screams, accompanied by
the sounds of blows, were daily occur
renccs. She found the child, pale, thin,
barefoot, half-clad, struggling to lift
pots nearly as heavy as herself Across
table nearby was a whip of twisted
leather. Its marks were on her legs
and arms.
Mrs. Wheeler went to the parish
clergymen and to the police. No one
would interfere because of the pre-
vailing idea that child's life was in
the keeping of its parents. Thinking
to herself that the child should be
afforded the protection which any stray
animal in the city might receive, she
went to Henry Bergh, of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. He brought Elbridge T. Gerry
into consultation. The result was the
founding of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children.
Friends of Mrs. Wheeler are prepar-
ing to erect in the new building of the
society, 81 Irving Place, memorial in
her honor. Plans will be discussed at
a meeting of the directors tomorrow.
