General Notes: Husband - William D. Elliott

---

He was reared and educated at Franklin. For a few years during his early manhood he lived on a farm in Erie County, Pa., on his return to Franklin obtaining a position as clerk in the Woodburn store, where he was employed for three years. Subsequently he worked in a hardware store, gaining sufficient familiarity with this line to give him confidence for an independent venture, which he made in 1870, buying a hardware business at Petroleum Center, this county, which he ran in partnership with his brothers Fleming and Thomas, under the firm name of W. D. Elliott & Co. After two years there he came to Franklin, where he was associated in business with two of his brothers under the style of Elliott Brothers, dealing extensively in hardware, coal and oil well supplies. He was engaged with this concern for eight years, when he sold his interest and turned his attention to the production of oil, following that line for three years. He was next in Michigan for some time, there doing his first work as an engineer, which he also did later in the Franklin plant of the American Steel Foundries, where he was head engineer. He was devoted principally to his private affairs, forming few outside connections. He belonged to the Presbyterian Church. [CAB, 612]
