ELIAS C. PATTY.

   Elias C. Patty, the present capable, efficient and widely-admired trustee of
Burlington township, Carroll county, Indiana, who is also a prosperous farmer,
was born in Democrat township, this county, March 16, 1885. Mr. Patty is the son
of W. A. and Salina (James) Patty. They were the parents of two children, Elias
C. and Pearl. The latter is a graduate of the common schools and lives at home
with her parents. Mr. Patty was one year old when his parents moved from
Democrat township to Burlington township. He was educated in the common schools
of the latter township and later was graduated from the common schools and the
Burlington high school. Mr. Patty finished the high school course in 1902 and
afterward taught school for three years. Later he attended the Marion Normal
College, at Marion, Indiana, and was graduated from the commercial department.

   On October 10, 1912, Elias C. Patty was married to Fannie Foust, also a
graduate of the common schools and the daughter of J. W. Foust, of Rockfield. To
them have been born one son, Robert F., born on October 28, 1913.

   Not only is Elias C. Patty one of the best-informed men living in Burlington
township, but he is a man who has always borne his share of the public
responsibility. He has given his unqualified support to all public enterprises
and movements. As a former teacher, he is naturally interested in the
educational progress of the township, but his interest does not stop with
educational affairs. He takes a commendable pride in all civic matters which
reflect the superior interest of the people of this township.

   Not only is Mr. Patty a successful farmer, but he is also interested in
banking and is at present one of the directors of the Burlington State Bank, a
prosperous institution which enjoys a large patronage in this section of Carroll
county. Nominated by the Democratic party, Mr. Patty was elected to the office
of township trustee in 1914 and is the youngest trustee in Carroll county. In
fact, he is one of the youngest trustees in the state of Indiana. His election
to this important office before he had reached the age of thirty years is a most
striking tribute to the universal esteem in which he is held by the people of
Burlington township. Nevertheless, he is quiet and unassuming, wholly unaffected
in his manners and devoid of all pretentions.
