. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. ELLIS D. ATWOOD Ellis D. Atwood of South Car- ver, Massachusetts has passed away. The cranberry industry has lost one of its most distinguished members. The country has lost the originator and owner of one of its more famous places of in- terest, "; He died at 7:05 a. m-., Thurs- day morning, November 30th at Tobey Hospital, Wareham, of in- juries sustained Sunday, Novem- ber 26th about 1:30 p. m., at his adminstration buildihg - screen- house, while lighting a fire in an oil furnace. He was 61. He died w'thout regaining consciousness. Exact details of the accident are not known. He had left his home to go to his bogs. When a considerable time had passed and he had not returned his wife, Mrs. Elthea Atwood became alarmed and went to the bogs to investi- gate why he did not return. She found him unconscious on the fur- nace room floor. He had been severely injured about the head, apparently having been struck by the furnace door in an ex- plosion. He was taken to the Wareham hospital, where it was found his .skull had been fractured in two places. Leading brain specialists were called in and he underwent a four-hour head operation. Mrs. Atwood had been in con- stant vigil from the time of the accident and was at his bedside when he passed away. He died at a time when there was hope for his recovery, by the fact that his struggle for life, although he was unconscious, had continued for more than three days. Mr. and Mrs. Atwood, who was the fonner Elthea Eldredge of Wareham were married, February 22, 1919. Despite the passing of Mr. At- wood the holiday display at Eda- ville is being continued. It opened December 7th and will continue through January 1. Mr. and Mrs. Atwood had planned it last fall. It was to represent "Peacedale," with a replica of the village by the same name they formerly set up at the Atwood home on Samp- son pond. Mr. Atwood was the son of the late Stephen D
