Obituary: N. F. Elliott, 4 Jul 1897 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 10 January 2003 Copyright.

Elliott was born February 23, 1863; departed this life July 4, 1897. Bro. Elliott was converted and joined the M. E. Church, South, in July, 1881, and a great part of that time he served the Church as Church Secretary. He was a good man—faithful to his Church. He had been a great sufferer for a long time. That awful disease called consumption was what preyed upon his vitals. We miss him, but our loss is his gain. We will meet him again, thank God. Bro. Elliott leaves a broken-hearted wife, with three little boys, and an aged father and one brother and sister and a host of friends to mourn for him. Look up, dear wife and loved ones; we will soon see Bro. Forest on the bright shores of eternal glory, where death never can come. S. N. ALLEN
