====================================================================

ELBERT, Thomas L. 1856 - 1926

Thomas L. Elbert passed away at his home on East Benton street Saturday 
morning at 5 o'clock, following a stroke of paralysis on Wednesday evening. The 
deceased was a native of Henry county and a son of one of the early pioneers. He 
was born on a farm in Tebo township January 31, 1856, lacking a couple of 
months of being 71 years of age. He is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Robert S. 
Burcham, Miss Mary C. Elbert, Mrs. James O. Sutherland, all of Windsor or vicinity, 
and Mrs. George Weatherald of Kansas City, and a number of nieces and nephews. 
He was reared on his father's farm in henry county and began upon his own 
account in 1877, at which time he engaged in farming and purchased a tract of 
land in Windsor township. He remained upon the farm until 1908 and then 
removed to Windsor, where he engaged in the buying, selling and shipping of 
stock. For a number of years he was employed by the government in the purchase 
of mules. On February 7, 1877, he was united in marriage to Mary E. Daniels, who 
also came from one of the pioneer families of this section. She died August 27, 
1916. The deceased was a member of the Windsor Baptist church, uniting with 
that organization many years ago. Tom Elbert stood high in this community and 
his passing will be felt as a personal loss to all. He was a member of the Windsor 
township board at the time of his death, was enterprising and progressive and for 
any proposition that would tend to improve or better the conditions of his town, 
county, state or nation. His friends were legion and insofar as we know he had no 
enemies. Funeral services, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. A. Bryson, were held at 
the Baptist church Sunday afternoon and interment was made in Laurel Oak 
cemetery.
