The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Thursday, December 19, 1918
Hiram R. Elliott, who died at his home, 419 Union street, early Wednesday 
morning, was perhaps one of the most widely known men as well as one of the 
most respected and beloved in the county.  He was born in June 1856 in Orleans 
county, New York.  At the age of fifteen he entered the employ of a clothing 
firm and worked through all the branches of the clothing salesman’s trade.  In 
1879 he married Miss Ida E. Huff, also of Albany, N.Y., and in 1886 moved to 
Ionia where he became connected with the J. T. Webber clothing store, then the 
Farmers and Mechanics’ store, and in 1901 entered the l. R. Buck store, where 
he was a faithful and influential salesman until 1914 when his failing health 
forced him to retire.  The apt two years he has been almost helpless but 
thorough it all he never lost the happy smile, cheerful word that 
characterized his life.  

He leaves a widow and two sons, Arthur of Detroit and James of this city, also 
a brother and sister in Albany, N.Y.  The funeral will be held from the 
residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Rev. E. E. Branch will officiate 
and interment will be in Highland Park cemetery.
