Notes for William Butler Elliott
There were two death certificates filed for him, one in Elliott Co., and one in Morgan Co. filed almost two years after his death.
The one in Elliott County records William Butler Elliott, age 75 years 10 days, born 13 Jan 1852 in Morgan Co., Ky, died 23 Jan 1928 in Walnut Grove precinct, Elliott Co., Ky, farmer, widower, father C. P. Perry Elliott, mother’s maiden name Mary H. Fanning, both born in Morgan Co., Ky, cause of death paralysis, informant John Elliott, burial in Spencer Grave Yard. This one was filed the day of his death.
The one in Morgan County records William Butler Elliott, age 76 years 10 days, born 13 Jan 1852 in Morgan Co., Ky, died 23 Jan 1928 in precinct 21, Morgan Co., Ky, farmer, marital status blank, husband of Louisia Elliott, father Perry Elliott, mother’s maiden name Mary Fannin, both born in Morgan Co., Ky, cause of death paralysis of right side, informant Maud Elliott, Redwine, Ky, burial in Elliott Co. It is stamped delayed, filed 11 Nov 1929. (Perhaps someone did not realize that his death had been recorded in Elliott Co., went looking for his certificate in Morgan Co., and not finding it, filed one there.)
Do not confuse him with the William B. Elliott born Nov 1846, son of Samuel Scott Elliott and Frances Perry, who married Didamia Lewis.
