Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Emma Belle Elliot {sic] were incomplete today, pending communication with relatives.
The body is in state at the Blackburn-Shaw Funeral Home.
Mrs. Elliot [sic] died yesterday afternoon at a local hospital following a brief illness. She was 777 years old.
She had been a resident of the Panhandle since 1907, during most of which time she lived at Hereford. Since 1934 she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. E.B. Perryman, 1920 Polk Street
Emma Belle Abbott was born near Old Troy in Bell County, Texas October 5, 1863. She was married to Robert Elliot [sic] in 1884. To this union were born seven children, five of whom survive.
From Waco the family came west in 1907, settling near Hereford in Deaf Smith County. Hereford was booming at that time and the Hereford College, which thrived for several years, had recently been established.
Before coming to the Panhandle the Elliots [sic] had been engaged in the dairy business for many years and the need for dairy cattle in the Panhandle was recognized immediately. Dairy cattle were brought from their old home. The demand for milch cattle to supply the college dormitories was soon so great that Mr. Elliot [sic[ sold his entire herd.
He continued in the dairy cattle business for a number of years.
To Mrs. Elliot [sic] and her husband should go credit for being pioneers of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society's museum on the West Texas State College campus at Canyon. They donated Mr. Elliot's [sic] collection of curios, one of the finest collections in the state, to the struggling little normal school - one of the first steps toward the present museum. The collection was later destroyed by the fire which razed the original building of the college.
Mr. Elliot [sic] died Dec. 26, 1916.
Except for a short time when she made her residence in Dallas, Mrs. Elliot [sic] has been a resident of the Panhandle since first coming to this section.
Since making her home in Amarillo, she has attended the Polk Street Methodist Church and the Browning Sunday School Class. She was a member of the Oak Cliff Christian Church in Dallas.
Besides Mrs. Perryman she is survived by three daughters, Mrs. N.C. Carr of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Mrs. Leslie Neal, Amarillo; and Mrs. Hal E. Bruner, Silver City, N.M.; a son, Robert Elliot [sic], Minneapolis, Minn.; a brother, Aaron Abbott of Sulphur, Okla.; and eight grandchildren.
