    In the spring of 1911, Eli caught pneumonia and was hospitalized, presumably at the Frick Memorial Hospital in Mt. Pleasant. At about that time, he also was injured when falling down a flight of stairs. Family members smirked that he "tripped on his beard" which would have been out of fashion at that time. Sadly, he died at the hospital a few days later, on April 11, 1911. The Mount Pleasant Journal reported that he was "one of Bridgeport's oldest citizens."
    
    He and Mary Ann are buried side by side at the Alverton Cemetery near Mt. Pleasant, next to daughter Maggie and son William.
    
    Eli's grave marker crumbled over the years, and disappeared. In November 1991, great-great grandson Eugene Podraza arranged for a replacement stone to be erected in permanent honor of Eli's memory.
