The sad news of the death of Hugh ELLIOTT of this city, was received at 3 o'clock this afternoon from Chicago, where he died at the Presbyterian hospital, as the result of a recent operation. Mr. Elliott is the son of Mrs. Margaret ELLIOTT of this city, and made his home in Rochester nearly all his life, having been born at Fletcher, October 10, 1879. He attended the Rochester public schools and graduated from the city High school. Later he and Mrs. Carl JESSEN of Kewanna, engaged in the photograph business in this city and successfully managed the studio for several years. On account of Mr. Elliott's failing health he decided to seek a different climate and accordingly went to Winslow, Arizona, in the fall of 1908. His health improved and he came home the following June. He remained here until October, when his health grew worse and accompanied by his mother, returned to Arizona. After remaining there a short time they went to Needles, California, where he had charge of a studio for a short time. About a month ago they returned on account of his serious condition and stopped off at Chicago, where he entered the Presbyterian hospital to take treatment. It was later decided that an operation was necessary and his death resulted today.
Mr. Elliott was an active member of the Presbyterian church, having joined that church when twelve years of age and was highly respected by a wide circle of friends, who deeply regret his death. For a number of years he acted as reporter on both The Sentinel and Republican papers of this city, and won many friends by his modest, unasuming manner, while so engaged. He was a member of the local order of Knights of Pythias.
Besides a mother he leaves three sisters, Misses Clara Belle [ELLIOTT] and Frances [ELLIOTT], city, and Mrs. J. C. JESSEN, Kewanna.
The body will arrive Friday afternoon at 1:35 o'clock and the funeral will be held Saturday morning at 11 o'clock.
