All of Mrs. Elliott's life was spent in Johnson and Shelby counties. In 1914 Mr. and Mrs. Elliott celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.

They lived over the old days knowing and feeling that if you live it right that life, after all, is worth living.
Mrs. Elliott was a member of the Primitive Baptist church, of Johnson county, with which church she united when a girl. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev.

DIED ELLIOTT -- On Monday, August 4th, 1879, in Ft. Scott, Kansas, Mr. Samuel W. Elliott, aged 59 years,
6 months and 4 days. Samuel Elliott was an old and respected citizen of this county. He was raised in Warren county,
Ohio, where he was married to a Miss Evans. He with his father, the late James Elliott, and his brothers, came to this county about 1841, and entered the milling and mercantile business. Samuel Elliott lost his wife a few years afterwards, being left with one son. In August, 1848, he married Miss Mary J. Powell of this county, moved to Marietta and entered vigorously in the milling business. In 1855 he built the present flouring mills at that place. About the same time he opened a dry goods store in Marietta and did an extensive business. In 1860 he moved to Shelbyville and opened out a boot and shoe store in the room now occupied by Mr. John W. Vannoy. Soon after he added dry goods, and for four years of the war did a large and successful business. In 1865 he formed a partnership with John Blessing and Morrison Gadd in the dry goods business in Indianapolis. Not being successful, in 1867, he moved to Missouri, and later to Ft. Scott, Kansas, where he was in the queensware trade at the time of his death. Samuel Elliott was recognized as one of the very best business men in this county. He was one of the first in every business enterprise of the community; he was one of the incorporators of the First National Bank of Shelbyville; also gave his aid and influence in organizing the different gravel road companies, which are the pride of our county. He leaves a wife and two children, having less that a year ago buried his only daughter. It was during her sickness that the seeds of disease were planted in him, and for several months after her death it was feared he would follow. But in the spring, hope began to revive that he would regain his accustomed strength, but the malarial fever of that locality took hold of him, and in one short week that strong form passed
away, and now we mourn with his family for one whom all recognized as one of God's noblemen.Thursday, August 7, 1879

We copy the following from the Ft. Scott Herald, in reference to Miss Emma Elliott, who was a former resident of this city, and who is well known in this community:Thursday, September 26, 1878.
---------------------------
Miss Emma Elliott, who has been sick with typhoid fever for a long time died yesterday morning. Her brother, who lives near Cincinnati, has been telegraphed to, and on his arrival tomorrow afternoon the funeral will take place. Miss Elliott was an earnest and sincere Christian woman, whose life was an hourly example of the purity fidelity and complete exemplification of the teachings of her Lord and Saviour. Her pure spirit has been wafted to the bosom of the Redeemer, and her friends who mourn her untimely end feel called upon to realize the splendid fact that she has gone on before to welcome them to the immortality whose glory fadeth not away. But, after all, she was the character of life that we most dislike to part with, for she was gentle, and kind and lovable, and such people make the world better by living in it.
