Son of Martha Reid---Wm Elliott,Ireland-WA State
Buried in a block of pauper graves where my greatuncle also lies, is one William Elliott, b. ca. 1879 in Ireland, son of John Elliott and Martha Reid, both also of Ireland.William was a single man, a farm laborer, and only recently arrived in Spokane Co., Washington when he died, 9 January 1934, in the Spokane County Hospital as the result of an accident suffered because of runaway horses.His death became a coroner's case.
It is my intention to place simple markers on the graves of all the hardworking "lost" men who have lain, like my greatuncle, unknown and unmarked since their deaths during the Depression.This is not a request for any help in that project, but just an attempt to re-connect William with any family he may still have looking for him.
If William Elliott is part of your family, I would be glad to hear from you.
