The Rochester News-Sentinel, Thursday, April 21, 1910, Obituary
he and Mrs. Carl JESSEN of Kewanna, engaged in the photograph business in this city and successfully managed the studio for several years. On account of Mr. Elliott's failing health he decided to seek a different climate and accordingly went to Winslow, Arizona, in the fall of 1908. His health improved and he came home the following June. He remained here until October, when his health grew worse and accompanied by his mother, returned to Arizona. After remaining there a short time they went to Needles, California, where he had charge of a studio for a short time.
