Daily Local Newspaper; 11/28/1921
While picking stones from a field on his farm near Lanover, Elam Landis, 
aged 59 years was stricken and died instantly, presumably from a stroke, 
Friday afternoon.  He had gone to the field with his 14 year old son, Henry, 
and was stricken almost immediately.  He had always enjoyed excellent health 
and death came unawares.  The boy was compelled to leave his father lying 
dead whle he ran across three fields to the house for help.  Dr George L. 
Stephan, of Atglen, responded to call and pronounced death due to stroke.
Mr. Landis was a member of the prominent family of that name of Landis 
Valley, Lancaster county, and came here twelve years ago.  He bought the 
Davis farm on the Valley road, east of Lanover Creamery, where he has since 
lived with his family.  He was a member of Atglen Presbyterian Church.
His widow, formerly Miss Schaeffer, survives as do seven of the nine 
children, who are:  Ruth, wife of Philip Thompson, Atglen; Mary, wife of 
Luther Harris, Highland; Paul, Alma, Myrtle, John and Henry, at home.  There 
are also these sisters and brothers:  Mrs. Worsnit, a missionary of the 
Christian Alliance Church, now in China; Mark Landis, Arizona; Mrs. Hettie 
Nolt, California; Mrs. John S. Graybill, Refton; Mrs. Ephraim Rohrer and 
Mrs. Charles, of Lancaster; Mrs. Quick wife of a Presbyterian minister in 
Arizona, once a candidate for the Penningtonville pulpit at Atglen and Miss 
Minnie Landis living in the home of the deceased.
