From The Mound City News-February 7, 1902:

"Elisha Vandeventer was born in Lee county, Virginia, March 29, 1841, died at his home, Mineral Springs, near Mound City, Mo., January 30, 1902, aged 60 years and 10 months.

He was the fourth of a family of eleven children, eight of whom survive him. At the age of nine years he removed with his parents to Davis county, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. In 1864 (different from above) he was married to Emma A. Dougherty. To them were born eight children, four sons and four daughters, six of whom-the four sons and two daughters-with the devoted wife, remain to mourn his loss.

In 1874 he removed to Schuyler county and later to Sullivan County, Mo., removing to York county, Nebraska in 1879. where he lived ten years, removing to Mound City in November, 1889, where he lived until his death. He enjoyed a very large acquaintance in this county, and all appreciated his genial disposition and lovable nature.

For many years he had been a sufferer from bronchitis and for four years had been bedfast a greater portion of the time, suffering the most terrible agonies. Through all he was most patient and always maintained a most cheerful mood.

His mortal remains were laid to rest in the Mount Hope Cemetery, Friday, Jan. 31, at 3 o'clock, amid a large number of sorrowing relatives and friend."
