Stephen Elliott, Who Passed Away Last Week, aged 75
Stephen Elliott, aged 75 years, died at his home on Grand Ave., Wednesday, February 24, 1904, after a year's illness. He was born in the parish of Peasmarsh, County of Sussex, England. He came to America with his parents in 1830, living in Oneida county, N. Y. until 1837, when the family came to the territory of Wisconsin and settled where the village of Sussex now stands. Here he lived with other pioneers, encountering all the trials and hardships incident to the early settlers. When he grew to manhood, he went to northern Michigan, where he remained until the breaking out of the Civil war. He enlisted in Company G, 2nd Battalion, U. S. 8, Infantry and served his country three years and six months. He was severely wounded in the Battle of Chickamauga, was sent to the hospital for three months, after which he rejoined his regiment. At three different times he was mentioned in dispatches for coolness and bravery in action. Mr. Elliott was a man of quiet disposition, strictly temperate in his habits, and loved the most by those who knew him the best.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, Floyd of this city and Stephen of Oconto, and a step-daughter, Miss Ida Edwards, a teacher in the high school. Two sisters, Mrs. A. E., Frary of La Moille, Ill., and Mrs. Harriett Bonham of Empire Prairie, Mo., and one brother, James Elliott of Sussex, also survive him. The funeral services were held Saturday at one o'clock, the Rev. I. L. Cory officiating. [unknown newspaper 24 Feb 1904]
