(From HISTORY OF MITCHELL AND WORTH COUNTIES, IOWA, 1883, Page 592)

A. Elliott, a graduate of the Iowa State University, located at Northwood during the fall of 1875. Business, in a professional way, not being all that he could wish, he for a short time entered into a partnership with Dr. McEnnamy in the livery stable business, and that proving a more disastrous venture he left these parts and has been entirely lost sight of.
