Mr. Elliott was a "railroad man" of fine mind and habits. His business brought him into contact with many men and its conduct was recognized as exceptionally forceful and efficient. Without obtrusiveness, every one who wished knew where he stood. He was never ashamed of his Master or his church. He hated intemperance of all kinds, including the use of tobacco. He was resourceful and had perspective and initiative. To him belongs the honor of first "building a church in a day."
