General Notes: Husband - Robert A. McElhoes


He received his education in the common schools. He was a farmer and owns and operated a saw-mill. He and his brother owned about eight hundred acres of land. His home farm of three hundred acres was well improved and is underlaid with a heavy vein of coking coal. In 1872 he built a large brick house, and erected a large frame barn in 1881, besides all necessary out-buildings. He was a democrat politically, but no office-seeker. He represented his party twice as delegate to state conventions and was frequently a delegate to county conventions.
