The Grim Reaper Calls one of Union Township's Most Honored Citizens
   It is with deep regret that we are called upon this week to chronicle the
death of one of Union township's most prominent and time honored citizens. It is
that of Lenville H. Elliott, one of our most progressive farmers and auctioneer,
who died at Grant hospital in Columbus Monday morning at 9 o'clock from
arterio-sclerosis and heart trouble, aged in his 56th year.
   Mr. Elliot had been in failing health for the past year, but on Friday, Sept.
21st, was compelled to take to his bed and on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, it was
deemed advisable by his physician and family to remove him to Grant hospital for
consultation, and with the proper care it was thought he might recuperate more
rapidly. On Friday his condition took a turn for he worse and he continued to
grow weaker until death relieved his suffering.
   He was a man with many good traits of character, loved and respected by all
who knew him. He was born April 25, 1861, near Zanesfield, Logan county, and
came to Milford Center with his parents when but 11 years of age. It was here
that he learned the miller's trade with his father, afterwards engaging in the
mercantile business. In 1892 he purchased and moved on a farm near Chuckery
where he continued to reside up till the time of his death.
   Mr. Elliott has served as a member of the Union County Agricultural Society
for the past six years, two of which he has been president. He was always active
in church work from a small boy, being a member of the M.E. Church, and served
as superintendent of the Sunday School at Lewis Chapel Church at Chuckery for
several years. He was also a faithful and honored member of the Masonic and
Oddfellow lodges. 
   He leaves a wife and one son, Amer Elliott, wife and two grand children to
mourn the loss of a devoted and affectionate husband and father. One child,
Mable, died when but six months old.
   Funeral services will be held this Thursday afternoon at 1:30 standard time
at the family residence, Revs. A. L. Rogers and A.B. Johnson officiating and
interment made in Milford Center cemetery.
