Person:Anthony Elliott (1)

Biography from "Genealogy Trails of Marion County, Indiana", http://www.genealogytrails.com/ind/marion/bios/bios.html

Anthony Logan Elliott, the father of the subject of this sketch, was the eldest of a family of six children, who all settled on farms in Jefferson County, but he died in his prime, leaving a widow and seven children, of whom David, seven years old, was the youngest and so broken in health that his early death seemed certain. He is now, however, the only survivor, but has had to use crutches since childhood. The last of those six robust brothers and sisters passed away in 1903, the lives of the brothers no doubt being greatly shortened by soldier's hardships during four years of the Civil War.
