[Nicholas County]  [Lower Blue Licks Precinct]

ELIAS WESTFALL, farmer, P. O. Blue Licks; was born in Prussia, March 8,
1844, to Philip and Elizabeth Westfall, natives of Prussia.  He was born
in 1812, died Aug. 11, 1872; she was born in 1814, died Aug. 13, 1874.
They emigrated to America in November, 1856, and settled in Nicholas
County.  They had thirteen children, of whom Elias, the subject of this
sketch was the youngest.  He received a common school education and learned
the trade of a shoemaker, which he worked at for a number of years, and
eventually turned his attention to farming, and which occupation he still
follows.  He was married in Nicholas County, Dec. 27, 1865, to Miss
Sarah Harney, who was born Feb. 1, 1846.  Their union resulted in seven
children, viz: Phillip, Nicholas, George, Charles, Perlie, Daniel and
Lizzie, the latter died in infancy.  Mrs. Westfall was a daughter of
Willoughby and Mahaley (Harrington) Harney, natives of Nicholas County. Mr.
Westfall is an energetic and enterprising man, and a practical farmer, and
one well worthy of the high esteem in which he is held.  He has filled
the office and performed the duties of Deputy Clerk for a number of years.
He owns a farm containing 200 acres of land, and in addition to growing
the usual farm crops, makes the raising of tobacco a specialty.  He is a
prominent member of the Masonic fraternity at Blue Lick's.  In politics
he is a Democrat.
