DEcEAsE OF NESERABE LADY, Eliza
Elliott, of Bandywiue Hundred, whose death is
elsewhere stated, was the daughter of the late
DR.. Isaac Stidham. of Gran HOOK (the property
on the Delaware, at and below the mouth OF the
Chrlstiana,) and through him was descended
from the earliest Swedish settlers in Delaware.
The ancestor Of her family Tieman Stidham
was one Of those who made the original settle
ment in the Hook, and erected the log church
on what was then a blun, facing the Delaware
just below the mouth Of the Chrlstiana Bv the
banking out Of the marsh, the site is now some
distance from the river shore. This was the first
OF the Swedish churches, preceding the Old
Trinity In this city by numher of years.
Mrs Elliott died at the advanced age of 50.
She was married in 1872 to Cloud Elliott, aud
removed from her ancestral home to Brandy
wine. Ia 1924, she was left widow, and the
care and training Of family of hve children,
some Of them quite small, devolyed upon her,
duties which were faithfully discharged. Isaac
S. Elliott, and j. Cloud Elliott, of Brandywine,
are two Of the SONS
The memory of the old lady remained good,
and she recollected besides many other interest
lug details, coming to her glrlhood, to the Old
S"edes Church, before bndge was built, and
crossing IN boat at the "Old Ferry" or the
direct descendants of the first Swedish settlers,
she was probably one of the oldest in Delaware.
