The citizens of Brookfield, the many friends in particular, were pained to learn last Wednesday morning that Judge William T. Elston was dead, Bright's disease being the cause.
The funeral occurred from the late home, near the Brookfield fair ground, which property he owned, on Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. R. E. L. Prunty, and was largely attended. Interment took place at Rose Hill cemetery. The deceased was at the time of his death 55 years, 5 months and 11 days old.
He was born in Sullivan county but grew up here in Linn county, in Baker township. A wife and daughter survive, besides a mother, two brothers and one sister.
W. T. Elston was a good man, a splendid citizen. He was a Mason and a member of the Baptist church. He was honest and upright. He enjoyed the confidence of his fellow men. Twice he was elected as a Democratic member of the county court of Linn county. He was always a good friend to Brookfield, and when he decided to move to town from the Baker township farm several years ago, Brookfield was pleased.
Judge Elston died too young, but was patient during his illness and had resigned to his fate. By virtue of his long residence in Linn county and his public life, Judge Elston was one of the best known men in the county, and those who knew him admired him most. Peace to his ashes." The Brookfield Argus (Brookfield, Missouri), June 17, 1905
