Read More	From the Saturday December 14, 1929 Cedar Rapids EVening Gazette in the column of Marion News: Funeral services for Mrs. Esther P. Elliott, 89, who died Friday morning , will be held Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in the Congregational church with the Rev. W.E. Fisher of the Presbyterian church officiating. Mrs. Elliott was born at West Dryden, N.Y., April 15, 1840. In 1861 she went to Groton academy, where she was in the teachers' class, and she was graduated in 1862. She came to Iowa in 1865, and lived the rest of her life in Marion. She was married to Johnston Elliott March 19, 1866, and to this union were born three children: Nellie, Laverna, and George Johnston, all of whom preceded her in death. Laverna and George died in 1876 and Nellie Elliott Davis, in 1911. Mr. Elliott was one of Marion's prominent merchants, being in the grocery business for many years near the location of the present Central meat market. His brother, Milton Elliott, was connected with him until about 1878, when he sold out and entered the shoe business. Mr. Elliott sold his business in May, 1883, to George and C.D. Lillie. He died in 1899. Mrs. Elliott became a member of the Congregational church in 1866, serving it faithfully until her death. Mrs. Elliott was known for her love of home life and she maintained her own home until the last few years. She was also known for her generosity in thought, word and deed, giving much to others and to her church. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were particularly interesting to her. She spent much time in travel, having made over eighteen trips to California and a trip abroad. Her views on life were modern and remarkably keen, as she kept up with current events and the trend of the time. That she was a philosopher in life is shown by her many writings which teemed with original quips and witticisms. Much of her time was spent recently in reading and writing. She had recently written: "I am ready--it is better to be ready and not go than to go and not be ready." She is survived by four grandchildren: Mrs. L.D .Reynolds of Hollywood, Calif.; Mrs. A.L. ALlen, Chicago; Mrs. C.F. Bauch, Freeport, Ill., and J. Elliott Davis of Cedar Rapids. Twelve great-grandchildren also survive her. Burial will be in the family lot at Oak Shade cemetery. Friends wishing to view the body may call at the Congregational church Sunday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
