Mr. Thos, Elliott.
The above photogravure will he re-
cognized by many News -Record read-
ers as that of Mr. Thomas Elliott,
one of the oldest residents of Goderich
township, who -will celebrate his
eighty-nineth birthday this month.
Mr, Elliott is a native of Ferman-
agh,
ermanagh, Irelarcl, and cane to this coup-
try with his family in July 1839. The
family first settled upon the farm
adjoining the one which he now oc-
cupies, dot 34 on the 1st con., but
in December. of 1844 they moved to
their present home and on this farm
Mr. h:Iliott rias resided for seventy
years.
During his long life Mr. Elliott has
enjeered the hest of health until last
spring, when he liad a rather ser-
ious 'illness. I•Ie recovered, however,
and is now comparatively well. HIe
has been a life long member of the
Orange Order, being a member of L.
0. L. No. .189, perhaps better known
asCurrie's Lodge for about sixty
years, and -he has always
made a. practice of attending the
112th of July celebrations. Ile was
Mt of the oldest members of the
order at Seaforth this year.
In religion lie is an Angliaani •
Mr. Elliott lost his life partner
about two years ago but their ten
children are living. Misses Rebecea,
Carrie, Maggie and Frances reside in
Goderich ; Sarah, Emily, Jane and
Lizzie are at home., Mrs. Alexander
Mitchell resides at Varna, and 1ii1
Ikam J. Elliott, the only son, is at
home.
Mr. Elliott has leen many changes
during his long residence in the
township and has also borne many
of the hardships incident to pioneer
life. Farm life in Western Ontario
fifty or sixty years ago, with its
bush roads, sparcely settled home-
steads, its few' log buildings, its lack
of railroad and educational accom-
modation differs much from the farm
life of today, with its good roads,
its well cleared, well -fenced and well -
tilled acres, comfortable farm build-
ings 'with all modern conveniences,
telephone connection, good schools
daily mail, and all the hundred and
one conveniences which have come to
be regarded as necessities. And in
the strenuous toil which materially
aided in bringing about these changes.
such early settlers as Mr. Elliott
and those of his day took a large
share. "Other men labored and we
have entered into their labors" may
be very truly said in this regard.
A man of kindly and unassuming
diepositi'on, honest and upright in his
dealings, a genial neighbor and a good
citizen, this good old country of Hur-
on owes touch to such hien as
Thomas Elliott. ItIay his last days
be full of comfort and of blessing.
