Elias and his brothers, Al, John and Perry were early residents in the Horace vicinity. Elias, also called EW, was a farmer at Horace, Nebraska. He was active in agricultural organizations and committees, and served in the Nebraska State Legislature in 1895 as a Senator from Scotia and Greeley Counties. Family tradition says he was called the "The Prairie Coyote". According to Elias's great granddaughter, Dorothy Cashatt, Horace, Nebraska is now just a deserted place in the country. Howard, W. A..

He was elected last November to represent the ninth senatorial district, which consists of Antelope, Greeley, and Boone counties. Mr. Jeffres was born in Mercer county, Ohio, December 7, 1851, and was brought up on a farm, acquiring a common school education in the time he could get from his busy day in the field and among the stock under his care. In June, 1863, at the age of twenty years, he moved to Mills county, Iowa, and it was in Iowa schools that his education was received. January 30, 1870, Mr. Jeffres was married. It was seven years later, in 1877, when he became a resident of Nebraska, having moved in that year to Greeley county, where he has lived ever since. He is a hard working member of the senate, and has a place on the committee on agriculture, the committee on school lands and funds, and the committee on mines and minerals. 16 June 1900 - US Census - Wallace Creek Election Precinct, Greeley, Nebraska Household ..............Role ..................Sex .....Age Birthplace Birth Date Elias Jeffres ............Head ................Male ....49 ..Ohio ..........Dec 1851 Elizabeth M Jeffres Wife ..................Female 50 ..Missouri ....Jul 1850 Cecil Jeffres ...........Granddaughter Female 10 ..Nebraska ..Feb1890 Archie Jeffres .........Grandson .........Male ....8 ....Nebraska ..Feb 1892 Rene Jeffres ...........Granddaughter Female 6 ....Nebraska ..Apr 1894 Elmer B Jeffres .......Grandson ........Male ....4 ....Nebraska ..Sep 1896 The Lincoln Star NE, August 4, 1908, Tuesday, pg 2 Card of Thanks To all those who have sympathised and so kindly assisted us during the last sickness of our loved one, Mr. Elias W.
