MRS. F. E. ELLIOTT

MRS. F. E. ELLIOTT has resided in Barton County for the past thirty-six years,
having come here with her husband in 1877, at a time when the county's history
was just beginning. Mr. Elliott died in June, 1909 and since that time Mrs.
Elliott has carried on the work on the home place with the aid of help. She
gives personal attention to its management and is among the most successful
business women of the county. Both Mr. and Mrs. Elliott are natives of
Massachusetts. They were married in June, 1877. They are the parents of one
child, Minnie, who is thirty-four years, of age. She is now Mrs. Roy Weathers,
having been married in 1910, and lives near her mother on the same section line.
Mrs. Elliott's, home is one of the most modern and neatly arranged to be found
in the county. It consists of eleven rooms with a large commodious basement and
garret. The rooms are on two floors and are connected one with the other in a
way that makes it possible to go from one room to another with the minimum of
walking. The home is furnished with up-to-date furniture and that Mrs. Elliott
takes a pride in her home is evidenced on every hand. The house is lighted with
a large acetylene gas lighting plant of a modern design. A well improved water
system supplies water to the house and bath room, both hot and cold water being
supplied. Mrs. Elliott's daughter is a graduate of the Great Bend High School
having received her diploma with the class of 1S98, and she is also a graduate
of the Centrad Normal College. The surroundings near the Elliott home are
pleasing and make of it one of the most attractive farms in that section of the
county. It is located eight and a half miles west and south of Great Bend and is
in a high state of cultivation. Mrs. Elliott also owns eighty acres of land two
miles south and west of the town-site of Great Bend.
