Edward J. Elliott

Died October 21, 1941, Norwich, NY

Edward J. Elliott of 36 Gold street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], one of this city's best known and most substantial citizens, passed away at the Chenango Memorial Hospital at 11:30 Tuesday morning, after a period of failing health extending over the past two years.   Mr. Elliott was born in the town of Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], April 20, 1866, but had been a resident of Norwich for many years.  He followed the occupation of carpenter in early life, later branching into the contracting business and still later into mill work and the lumber business.  He established the E.J. Elliott lumber business in September 1900, and this continued until 1921 when the E.J. Elliott Lumber Company was formed with Mrs. Elliott and the two sons of the couple, Earl J. Elliott and Ary S. Elliott becoming partners in the business.  Mr. Elliott served as president of the company until the time of his demise. The deceased was vice president and the oldest living director of the Chenango Cooperative Savings and Loan Association.  He had served on the board of directors since July 8, 1902 and he had been vice president since June 30, 1933.  Mr. Elliott was a member of all the Masonic bodies for many years.  He joined Norwich Lodge 302, F.&A.M. in 1887 and three years ago was honored by the lodge when presented with the 60 year jewel.  He was a past master of the lodge, and had served in several of the chairs in both Norwich Commandery, K.T., 46, and Harmony Chapter 151, R.A.M.  He had been a member of Ziyara Temple of the Shrine at Utica since 1905. The deceased was also a charter member of the Norwich Club and the George Rider Hook & Ladder company.  He attended the First Baptist church.  In failing health for about two years, Mr. Elliott during the past summer apparently had shown improvement and had attended meetings of the board of directors of the loan association and had made inspections as a part of his duties. About 10 days ago he contracted a cold and this brought on an aggravated condition.  His condition became more serious late Monday afternoon and he was removed to the Chenango Memorial Hospital.  Ed Elliott as he was familiarly called by hundreds of friends and acquaintances in Norwich, was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him.  He was substantial and fair in his business dealings of nearly half a century and there are many who will learn with sincere regret of his demise.  he was dependable and possessed those qualities of manhood, which earned for him lasting confidence. There survive his wife, Ella Curnalla Elliott and two sons, Earl J. and Ary S. Elliott.  Funeral arrangements have not been complete, but it is believed there will be a Masonic service.
