On Tuesday morning, Oct. 28th, 1924, relatives and friends of Mrs. John Elliott were grieved to hear that she had suffered a shock. At first, it was thought she might rally, but the ministrations of loving hearts, and willing hands could not stay the parting soul, and she passed away Saturday evening, Nov. 1st at her home on the East side, aged 74 years. Mrs. Elliott was the daughter of James Whitehead who came to this country from England and located near Cannonsville. In her youth came the trying times of the Civil War, times of internal strife which called for patriotism from men, self denial from women. Some years later, in 1872, she and John Elliott of Andes, who had served as a soldier in the Rebellion, started down "the long trail" together and went to live on a farm near Cannonsville, later, moving to Barbourville and finally located at their late home on the East side where they spent fifty years of happy companionship celebrating their "Golden Wedding" Oct. 28, 1922, in the midst of many relatives and friends. Before another year had elapsed, John Elliott suddenly passed on "like one who wraps the draperies of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams." During the lonely months that followed Mrs. Elliott depended largely on her children for help and cheer and was very grateful for the many evidences of their affection and love. Among those who survive are five sons; Bert, Lester, Guy, George and Earl and one daughter Mrs. Gardinier of this village. Throughout life, Mrs. Elliott was an ardent reader, a lover of the beautiful, a believer in preparedness, for she looked well to the ways of her household, but the most priceless jewel in her diadem was her devotion to her children of whom she was very proud and who are left to mourn an irreparable loss. The funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday, Nov. 4th, Rev. Charles G. Cady officiating. The interment was in Greenlawn cemetery, Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]. The family have the sympathy of the community. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 13, 1924]
