Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of November 18, 1898
Ed. A. Elder Dead

In Toledo, O., on Friday afternoon last that prince of splendid men, Ed. A. 
Elder of Indian Spring, breathed his last.  He was one of the best known and 
most popular hotel man in the state.  He closed the Elder House on the 6th of 
October, and with Mrs. Elder went West for a short season of rest before going 
to Florida for the winter.  At Toledo he was seized with a chill and Typhoid 
fever followed.  He was unable to stand the desperate attack and sank as above 
stated.  The remains reached Flovilla Saturday night and the funeral services 
were conducted at Indian Spring on Sunday following.  Mr. Elder was greatly 
admired for the many noble virtues of head and heart, and his death is the 
cause of almost universal sorrow.  When he left here he was a fine specimen of 
physical manhood, and his death is, therefore, quite a shock to our people.

The Argus has never known a more popular hotel man than Ed. Elder.  He has been 
in active charge of the Elder House for 20 years.

Since childhood the most devoted friendship has existed between Mr. Elder and 
Mr. H. L. Daughtry of the place, and Mr. Daughtry says he has never known a 
truer man to his friends than Ed. Elder.

To Mrs. Elder and the other near relatives, The Argus offers its sincere 
condolence.
