Elliott, Lillian Ralston –
Lillian Ralston Elliott was born February 8, 1856 near Maryville, Union county, Ohio, and died July 24, 1929 in Kansas City, Mo.

She is survived by her husband, Thomas K. Elliott, daughter Annis Lillian Elliott at home, and a brother William A. Ralston of Red Oak.

The family moved from Ohio, to Washington county, Iowa in her early childhood, and in 1882 came to the Stringtown neighborhood to make their home.

Mrs. Elliott was married to Mr. Thomas K. Elliott in October of 1898, after which they made their home in Essex. A son, Thomas Charles was born to them in 1899 and died at the age of 21 months. Since he was buried in the Stringtown cemetery it was her request that she be laid beside him when she knew she was going home. Her father and mother, William S. and Sarah Ralston also lie in this cemetery.

Interment was at Stringtown cemetery with Rev. Mortenson of the Presbyterian church in charge.
