Died. Ella Virginia von Echtzel Wendel, 80, last and youngest of Manhattan's rich, eccentric, land-owning Wendels; of apoplexy in the night; in the famed old Wendel house at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue. Ever since the. first John Gott- lieb Wendel, contemporary of John Jacob Astor, made a fortune in furs, the family had followed his precept: Buy, but never sell, property. Heiress of at least $100,000,000 in real estate, Ella Wendel lived all her life a recluse in the ugly old red-brick house (last appraised at $6,000) on the corner (last appraised at $3,684,000). Friends said her seclusion was voluntary, her life happy. She and her sisters Augusta, Josephine, Mary, Georgiana were dominated, kept from marrying by Brother John Gottlieb Wendel III. Rebecca, a sixth sister, eluded his tyranny, married Professor Luther A. Swope. But when Professor Swope died she returned to hermitage with her sisters. Last year she died (TIME, Aug. 4) and her will left most of the fortune, after Sister Ella's death, to charities and religious bodies.

Ella Wendel kept a succession of French poodles, each named Tobey, her companions in the old house that had (until lately) no telephone, no electricity. Twenty-five years ago John Gottlieb Wendel III, in refusing as always to sell the Wendel corner, explained it was because the contemporary Tobey had to have a place to run in. The present Tobey has his own brass bed, his own specially constructed table alongside Miss Wendel's. When this Tobey dies he will be buried with his predecessors in the Wendel dog-graveyard at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. (the Wendel summer-home).
