HENRY R. ELLIOTT.
Henry R. Elliott was for many years a highly respected
citizen of Berlin township, and it is most appropriate that his
history be given in this volume among the life records of men
who have conferred honor and dignity upon society here. He
was born in Berlin township Dec. 4. 1835. His parents,
Gideon and Rebecca (Roberts) Elliott, came from Maryland to
Ohio and cast their lot with the early settlers of Berlin
township, Knox county. Our subject was the eldest of four
children, and in the place of his birth he was reared, while in
the common schools he pursued his education. Early he
became familiar with the work of the farm and assisted in the
cultivation of the fields on his father's homestead until his
marriage, which important event in his life occurred May 17,
1859, the lady of his choice being Eliza Elma Willits.
She was born in Berlin township Aug. 10, 1837, a daughter of
John and Elizabeth (Purviance) Willits. Her father
came to Knox county in its pioneer days and was actively
identified with the primitive development here. He wedded
Miss Purviance, a native of Belmont county, Ohio.
She died when about thirty years of age, and of her three
children one died in infancy, while David, the brother of
Mrs. Elliott, is also deceased. She,
therefore, is the only one of the family remaining. She
was reared in Berlin township, and in the district schools began
her education, which was continued in Fredericktown, while for
one year she was a student in the Wesleyan Female College at
Delaware, Ohio. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Elliott were born
two daughters, Lamira E., the wife of William H.
Rucker, of Berlin township, by whom she has two children,
Elma J., wife of Charles W. Champion, at Mount
Vernon, and Mabel E.; and Mary Ellen, the wife of J.
T. Brown, who is living near Lexington, Richland county, and
has two children, Elliott Ray and Delpha E.
After his marriage Mr. Elliott
took his bride to the Williams farm in Berlin township,
where they remained for a year, going thence to Ankenytown.
After residing there for five years they removed to a farm lying
just across the road from the place upon which Mrs. Elliott
now resides, and in 1868 took up their abode at her present
home. He successfully carried on general farming and stock
raising, and his capable management of his business interests,
combined with unflagging industry, enabled him to win creditable
success. From the time he started out in life
independently he owed everything he had to his own labor and
diligence. He was a very stanch Republican, unswerving in
his advocacy of the party and taking an active part in its work.
Of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Fredericktown he was
an exemplary member and by that society his remains were laid to
rest in the Friends' cemetery. He passed away Mar. 20,
1900, and the community mourned the loss of one of its valued
citizens, his neighbors a faithful friend and his wife and
daughters a loving husband and father. Mrs. Elliott
resides on the homestead, where she owns two hundred and
fifty-six acres of land which she rents, deriving therefrom a
good income. She is a member of the Presbyterian church at
Fredericktown. Her entire life has been passed in this
locality, and therefore, owing to her many excellencies of
character, her circle of friends is very extensive.
