From the Thursday, May 25, 1911 NEWS-HERALD of Hillsboro, Ohio:
	
	Elias Barnes Lupton, son of Silas and Lois Barnes Lupton, was born 
near Hillsboro, Ohio, Nov. 25, 1842, and died in East Monroe, March 6, 1911.
	He was married to Mary Elizabeth COCHENOUR Dec. 17, 1865.  They had no 
children of their own but raised two orphan girls, Mertie and Neda Allen, to 
whom they were devoted parents.  He leaves besides his wife, two sisters, Mrs. 
E. J. Morton, of East Danville, who is visiting friends in the West and was 
unable to be at his bedside during his last sickness, and Mrs. Elizabeth 
Wright, of New Vienna, and two brothers, Silas Theodore, of Paulding county, 
Ohio, and Reece W. of Nardin, Okla.
	He had a birthright in the Quaker church and was always a firm 
believer in the doctrines of that church.  His great-grandmother, Bathsheba 
Lupton, wife of William Lupton, was the founder of the Fairfield meeting.  She 
mounted a horse and rode from cabin to cabin.  She succeeded in having all the 
settlers meet on Sunday at John Beals on Hardin Creek, and at her cabin in the 
Fairfield neighborhood.  She died in 1847 aged 87 years.
	His maternal great-grandfather, Rev. Reece Woff, was a pioneer 
Methodist preacher and led Methodism into West Virginia and Ohio.
	The subject of this sketch was of a kind and gentle disposition, 
making sunshine where ever he went.  He was ready at the Master’s call, after 
he was speechless he looked up at his devoted wife and pointed upward.  He was 
an honest man, the noblest work of God.  We shall miss him but our loss is his 
gain.  His disease was consumption.  He was patient in his long sickness and 
resigned to the will of God.  We will meet him where parting is no more.
				Mrs. E.J. Morton.
