EDITOR and part proprietor of the Kapunda Herald. Arrived with his brother in Adelaide, in 1852. Was chairman of the Hospital Board, Vice-President of the Institute, member of the School Board of Advice, the Horticultural Society, and Dutton Park Committees, and Director of the Marble and Building Company, all of Kapunda. He was closely connected with the Friendly Societies, and Past-master of the Masonic Lodge. Mr. Elliott devoted himself with great zeal and intelligence to the work of conducting the paper of which he was editor, and his articles were always well written and distinguished by their smartness and piquancy. He was the real founder of Dutton Park and the Kapunda Hospital; both institutions owing their origin, to
Wm. Hill, J.P.
his correspondence with Mr. Button, which led that gentleman to give liberally towards them. There can be little doubt that his life was shortened by his ceaseless activity of mind and body. He suffered from prolonged attacks of illness, but as soon as he was able to resume work was ever at the post of duty, Mr. Elliott's life was in harmony with his public career. True and steadfast as a private friend, he was one who could be relied on for sympathy and help when really needed. Those who knew him best, esteemed him most. He was in his 47th year of age when he died, on April 22, 1883.
