PROFESSOR'S WIFE DIES.
Mrs. Ellen Buttenweiser Succumbs To Extended Illness.
Mrs. Ellen Buttenwieser, 60 years old, 252 Loraine Avenue, Clifton, wife of Professor Moses Buttenwieser, world famous authority on biblical literature, died late yesterday afternoon at Holmes Hospital.
It was learned from friends that Dr. Buttenwieser, who is Professor of Biblical Exegesis at Hebrew Union College, had himself been rushed to a Canadian hospital a few days ago.
His illness, it was understood, is not serious and, with other relatives, he is expected to arrive in Cincinnati within the next two days.
Mrs. Buttenwieser was a Doctor of Philosophy, having received that degree in Gottingen, Germany.
Besides her husband she is survived by two daughters, Ellen, a student, and Hilda, Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Cincinnati, both of this city, and a son, Paul Buttenwieser, Los Angeles.
