The Rochester Sentinel
DIED - Alexander ELLIOTT was born in Perquinanin county, North Carolina, in 1813,
January 3d, departed this life December 9, 1890, of heart failure.
In his 18th year he emigrated to Ohio and settled in Butler county. He was united in marriage with
Rebecca PARKER, August 19, 1837. In 1848, with his wife and family he emigrated to Fulton county,
Indiana, located in Wayne township upon the land which he has converted into a farm. Here he lived for
more than 42 years.
On July 25, 1858 his wife died, leaving him with a family of seven children, two little girls having
preceded her to the better land. March 31, 1859 he was again married to Martha L. ELLIOTT with whom he
lived until her death three months ago.
About one year and a half after his first marriage Father Elliott was converted and united with the
M.E. church with which he has ever since been connected. He used his influence in securing the present
organization of the M.E. church in this vicinity. Was its first classleader, holding class in his own home for
nine years. He was always a cheerful and liberal giver, and a man of strong convictions and great will power.
On the day of his death he came from the morning prayer meeting in his old church and sat down to
dinner and ere he had finished it death suddenly called and he was borne away to that better country. And so
his prayer was answered that God shold take him to himself without a struggle. His remains with fitting
ceremonies were interred in the cemetery of the West Union Presbyterian church.
