January 3,1895---Mr. William Elliott died at the home of Mr. Ed Pettus, in New Providence, yesterday afternoon at 4:00. He had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. The death of William Elliott removes from Montgomery County one of the best and noblest men who ever lived here. He was born in Virginia in Feb 1805, and would, therefore, have been ninety years old next month. He moved from Virginia to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and after living near that city for several years he came to Montgomery County and settled in District 3, about nine miles from this city. He has been a citizen of this county for 50 years, and has been a farmer all his life. He was a man of dignity and discretion. He improved his opportunities, held steadfastly to the right and filled his years with usefulness. His character was irreproachable. His record was spotless, and his life bore that character of sublimity which defies expression. He was the father of Thomas M. Elliott, Mrs. Ed Pettus, Mrs. Frank Buckner, Mrs. John Barker, and Mrs. Dr. Ross. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4:00 from the Pettus residence in New Providence. Interment at the old Elliott burying ground, in District 3.
