John Elliott was born October 14, 1823, in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, and during his childhood and younger manhood lived with his parents on a farm. He enlisted in the Mounted Rifle regiment, when yet young, going from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, into active service July 10, 1846. He had many interesting experiences in the three years of service, and was promoted to be second sergeant of his company. A parchment certificate of honorable mention signed by James K. Polk, president, and Wm. L. Marcy, secretary of war, August, 1847, was one of the souvenirs greatly prized by him. He served under General Taylor at Monterey, and under General Scott on the Vera Cruz line and in the taking of the City of Mexico, fighting in the battles of Contrares, Cherubusco, Molena del Rey and Chapultepec, receiving honors of distinguished services in the first-named engagement. After returning from the war Mr. Elliott was a merchant at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, until in 1876, when he came to Platte county, settling on his farm on Shell creek. In about 1883, he came to Columbus, where he has ever since resided. For seven years he was street commissioner, and was bailiff of the District court many years, serving in that capacity at the term before his last sickness, which began December 27, with a stroke of paralysis, since which he had been confined to his bed, suffering other strokes, and finally departed this life Monday morning at 2:40. He was one of the very first members of the order of Knights of Pythias in the United States, and was an ardent knight at all times. Mr. Elliott was married November 1, 1849, to Mary Jane Smiley, who survives him, with their five children: Joseph of Salt Lake City, Utah; Mrs. Charles Gillon, Neosho, Missouri; Hanson S., of Columbus and Mrs. E.H. Andrews of Leadville, Colorado. The grandchildren are all now here except Miss Florence Elliott and James E. Gillon. Services at the residence at 10 o'clock, Wednesday, Jan. 17, at which it is expected Rev. Hayes will officiate, in his absence, Rev. Rogers.
