Read More	Obituary Samuel Elyea was born near Geneseo, New York, August 29, 1830 and died at Parsons, Kansas, August 22, 1914, at the age of 83 years, 11 months, and 23 days. On May 11, 1854, he was married to Miss Jennette Orr in Brockport, New York. To this union nine children were born of whom two sons and two daughters survive, namely; Charles W. Elyea and Samuel Downey Elyea both of Jewell, Mrs. Vira Reynolds of Vista, Mo., and Mrs. Annie Hitz of Jewell. Samuel Elyea was a soldier in the war of the Rebellion being a volunteer in the Eighth New York Cavalry and was honorably discharged on the 26th day of June, 1865 at Washington, D.C. by reason of the close of the war. He served nearly the full three years and the same year that he was discharged from the service he came with his wife and young children to the State of Missouri there to make them a home. The family resided in Missouri for 18 years coming to Jewell County, Kansas, to live in 1883. The mother of his children and the wife of his youth died 13 years ago in 1901 and to-day we lay the mortal remains of the husband by her side in the family lot in the Wallace cemetery there to await the Resurrection. (Wallace Cemetery - 29 Aug 1830 - 22 Aug 1914). One by one the men who wore the blue in the 60's are passing on. Samuel Elyea was one of those who responded to Lincoln's call for volunteers. He, like hundreds of others, left wife and babies, to fight against secession and for human liberty. When he had received his discharge from the military service of his country, again, like many others, he went west that he might find a place to rear and support his family. His boys and girls grew up around him into sturdy, successful men and women, who by dint of inherited industry have made for themselves a place in the community in which they live. In 1883, thirty two years ago he took up his residence in Buffalo township, experienced many of the privations of pioneer life, lived out his four score years and more and has passed into the great beyond.
