William Elliott, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.T. Apperson, at 
Park Place, yesterday, was one of the oldest and best known pioneers of 
Clackamas County. He was one of the first members of the Oregon State 
Agricultural Society, and was an officer of that body and a conspicuous worker 
in and attendant upon State Faire for a third of a century. He was also a 
member of the Oregon Pioneer Association, and until the infirmities of age 
prevented, attended regularly the annual meeting of that body. He was born in 
Knox county, Indiana, September 14, 1815, in 1836 he was a volunteer in the 
Florida War. He was married in 1838 to Miss Nancy Sconce, who died in January 
1888. He crossed the plains in 1846 and settled in Clackamas County, the part 
now known as Elliot’s Prairie, being named in his honor. In 1872, he sold his 
farm and moved to Canemah, where he lived until the death of his wife. Since 
then he has lived with his eldest daughter, Mrs. J. T. Apperson, of Park 
Place, where he rested quietly from his labors until his death. He will be 
remembered as one of those sturdy, honest men who made Oregon. He left the 
following children: Mrs. J.T. Apperson, of Park Place; John W. Elliot, of
