Tristam Dillon, of Union, Iowa before a large audience of sympathetic friends and near relatives.

Obituary read at the church: Like the sunset of a beautiful day when the twilight lingers and gently fades at last into the night, the beautiful spirit of Mrs. Ennis Elliott was called to her heavenly home May 1, 1928, after an illness of several years, at the age of 53 years, 8 months and 22 days.

Jessie May Brown, daughter of Henry and Faith Brown, was born at Sheffield, Bureau county, Ill., August 9, 1875, and died at Cherokee, Iowa, May 1, 1928.

When seven years old, her parents moved to Carroll county, Iowa, where she lived a good many years.

On December 22, 1895, she as united in marriage to Ennis Elliott, who survives her. They lived near the Friends church southeast of Glidden, for several years, then moved near Coon Rapids, and lived there until March 1913, when they moved to Cambridge, Minn.

Four children were born to this union, Virgil, who resides at St. Petersburg, Fla.; Merle, Olive and Mary of Cambridge, Minn. She has four grandchildren, two brothers and one sister: E.B. Brown, H.E. Brown and Mrs. Mary Hagan, all of Coon Rapids, Iowa.

She accepted Christ early in life and united with the Pleasant Ridge Friends church. She was an active worker in the church, being president of the Ladles Aid Society at Cambridge, until her health and duties at home compelled her to give it up. She was a faithful and loving wife, a devoted and kind mother; her thoughts were constantly of her family. The last weeks were full of intense suffering, but she bore it all patiently and quietly fell asleep.
