North Dumfries, August 1st, 1881. Waterloo Historical Society Death Notices Collection - photocopies ____________________ DEATH OF MR. WM. ELLIOTT The death of this old resident of Dumfries, after a long and painful illness, took place on Monday morning last. The deceased gentleman came to Canada in the year 1833, and settled down at once on the fine property, then a wilderness, where he died. Of the same industrious spirit as characterized the Scottish emigrants who were the pioneers of Dumfries, he soon established a comfortable home, which has since grown into the beautiful homestead where so many of the last years of his life were spent. About eleven years after settling in Dumfries, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott were severely tried by the death in one week of six of their children, through a visitation of scarlet fever. In 1869, if we recollect aright, Mr. Elliott very suddenly lost his faithful partner in life, Mrs. Elliott retiring at night in health and being found quite dead the following morning. There are now living of the family, Mr. James Elliott, merchant, Hamilton; Mr. Andrew Elliott, living on the homestead, and Mrs. Andrew Telfer, of South Dumfries. Deceased was an earnest Christian man, and long a leading member of the United Presbyterian Church. His Funeral on Wednesday was very largely attended, his many friends taking this way of testifying their earnest respect for the deceased and sympathy with his relatives.
