ELLIOTT, T. J.
(5 Dec 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
T. J. ELLIOTT DIES IN COLORADO.
T. J. Elliott, a son-in-law of Mrs. M. A. Smallwood, died at Grand
Junction, Colorado, November 22nd.  The deceased came to Elk City
seventeen years ago and filed on a claim five miles northwest of this
place.  He lived there twelve years and then moved to Colorado.  He was
well known to a large number of our citizens and it was with deep regret
they learned of his illness.  His wife and son George helped care for him
during illness.  In his death his wife has lost a devoted husband, his
children a kind father and community a worthy citizen.
The following is taken from a Grand Junction newspaper:
T. J. Elliott.
T. J. Elliott, a rancher living about four miles west of this city and
well known in the Grand Valley, died at the influenza hospital at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Elliott was 55 years of age and was born in Ohio, coming to this
section about four years ago when he secured employment with the Garfield
Coal company at its mines near Palisade a few months ago he purchased a
ranch and moved upon it with his family.
Mr. Elliott is survived by his wife, three children, his mother, three
brothers and a sister.  The children are two boys, George and James, and a
daughter, Mrs. Howard Smith, whose husband is in France in the service. 
His brothers are F. O. Elliott of Topeka, Kans., W. E. Elliott of Colona,
Colo., and W. C. Elliott who lives between this city and Fruita.  His
sister, Mrs. Minnie Williamson, and his mother live in Hutchinson, Kans.
Sleep on dear one and take your rest.  When Jesus calls we will all pass
over and meet you on that happy shore to dwell with Christ forever more.
