J. C. ELLIOTT.  Among the young farmers of Grant County who are coming
to the front in the business world is Mr. J. C. Elliott, who lives about
two miles east of Williamstown on his fine hill farm on 100 acres.  Mr.
Elliott is a Pendletonian by birth, but migrated to Grant County and 
settled where he now lives in 1890, just ten years ago.  He is a son of
Napoleon B. Elliott and Hester H. (Goshorn) Elliott and was born 
November 6, 1866.  He was raised on a farm and received a good common 
school education, and began life for himself as a farmer, and has stuck 
to his calling from that day until this, and has been more than 
ordinarily successful.  He was united in marriage to Miss Carrie 
Piercefield, February 28, 1890, and to this union six children have 
been born.  Four of his children has seen nine living grandparents, 
something a little remarkable, and indicating that Mr. Elliott and his 
wife each come of a family of remarkable longevity of lie.  His 
children are Ethel May, Stella Grace, Emmette Barbour, Leolia Cecil, 
Chellis Edward and Raymond Matthews.  Mr. Elliott is a prominent 
member of the Republican party, and a hard worker for his party in every
campaign.  He is an active member of the Knights of Pythias, and is Past
Chancellor of Williamstown Lodge No. 23 and a member of the Unformed
Rank.  As a farmer he takes a high position.  He is practical, a hard 
worker, raises tobacco, corn, hay and grain, and of live stock, hogs, 
cattle, sheep and horses.  He is successful and a money maker, but a 
good citizen with it all.  He is one of the young men, and the future 
no doubt has much in store for him.
