OBIT: Mansfield News-Ohio, 1/20/1902
CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT, whose death occurred Monday January 20 at 9:20 o'clock, was born in London England, July 13, 1826. When but a lad of six years old, he embarked with his parents to America in a sail vessel (Before steamboats were in use), reaching this country in 1832, they located in Rochester, New York where he received his education, afterward settling on a farm four miles from the city. Arriving at the years of majority, he came to Bucyrus, Ohio where he bought some land and started in the nursery business, which he followed successfully for fourteen years. During this time he studied law, was admitted to the bar and by his brilliant career, reflected much credit to himself and the profession. Being intimately associated in politics, he served faithfully as secretary of Central Republican Committee.
Being physically disqualified to enter the ranks in the Civil War, he did a valuable service for his country by recruiting volunteers. He served Crawford county six years as Justice of Peace, where h achieved an enviable reputation for equity and fairness of decision.
On Oct. 23, 1856 he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Mary Alger of Plymouth. The fruits of their union were three sons and one daughter.
In 1870, he moved to Mansfield with his family and entered the educational field. For four years he served in the position of principal at the Hedges Street school in the old fourth ward. During his service in this capacity he made many fond friends and won favor and respect of all his pupils who will mourn the sad taking of their kind teacher.
Changing his vocation to the insurance business, he moved to Toledo in 1878 and to Cincinnati in 1882, and thence back to Mansfield. For many years he had been a sufferer with kidney trouble, and thinking the fresh air of country life would prove conductive to his health, he went to the farm, his late home, six miles west of Mansfield.
He always had a wide circle of friends who held him in the highest esteem for his noble character, his true and lofty sense of right, a man of fine feelings and high intellectual culture and unswerving business integrity. With an unbiased mind, he was firm in the hight as he saw it, often reserving judgment until both sides had a hearing. He was a patient, loving husband, a kind indulgent father, a Christian, an obliging neighbor, and a friend with an open hand to all who needed help. he was a member of Lasalle Lodge I.O.O.F., No. 51 of Bucyrus, by which he desired his funeral ceremony to be conducted by.
He was a staunch republican and admirer of the administration. During a spiritual awakening in 1873, he was converted, baptized, and joined the M.E. Church of Mansfield, and through all of the years that followed, he has lived a life of faith and trust, and endured the pain and suffering of the long weary months with a Christ like patience without a moment of complaint.
In his demise, three brothers survive him., William of Murray N.Y., aged 81, Charles of Clarendon, N.Y, aged 77, and John of Ontario, aged 79; of his own family who mourn his loss are his wife, two sons and one daughter, Charles H of Akron, Rolla M. of Cripple Creek Colo., and Mrs. A. J. Harding of Akron, the youngest son, Leroy, having died at Toledo in 1881.
Funeral services at his late home Wednesday, Jan 22, at 12 m suntime. Interment in Mansfield Cemetery at 2 p.m., the Rev. James Grey, pastor at Ashley, officiating, assisted by the Revs. Baker and Pinkerton of Ontario.
