The saddest duty that has ever.
fallen to the editor of this paper, is,
forced upon him this week. 1t is to!
make the announcement of the death \
of his beloved, honored and aged
father, Hon. William Elwell. On]
Tuesday morning at 3.45 o'clock, he|
fell asleep so quietly, peacefully and
painlessly that the members Of his|
family who surrounded him scarcely
knew when they ceased to look upon|
the form of living husband and|
father, and saw only the earthly habi-l
tation of his immortal soul which hadI
taken its flight heavenward. His age|
was 81 years and days.
The funeral services will be held att
St. Paul's Church on Friday morning.
at nine O'Clock, conducted by the|
rector, Rev. d. N. Kirkby. The
remains will be taken on the Io.49'
train to Towanda, for interment I'M
the family plot in Riverside Cemetery.
William Elwell was born in Athens,
Bradford Co, Pa. on October 9th,
1903. His father, Dan Elwell, was a
native of Massachusetts, and his
mother, nee Nancy Prentice, OF Con
necticut.
They were of English extraction,
and their lineage is traceable back to
the time of Cromwell. Capt. Thos,
Prentice, the sixth great grandfather
of Judge Elwell, was soldier in
Cromwelps army. He came to this
country and settled at Newton, Mass.
in I62o. Dan Elwell was carpenter
and builder and a mathematician of
considerable note. He was an
active promoter of the cause of edu-
cation IN the community in which he
lived, his own children having the best
advantages which the common schools
and an academy of high standing af-
forded. He married Nancy Prentice
at Athens in 1900. She was a
daughter of Dr. Amos Prentice, a
surgeon in the army of the Revolu-
tion. DR.. Prentice suffered great loss
at Groton, Conn, by the destruction
of property by the soldiers OF Bene
dict Arnold, the traitor, he and his
family barely escaping with their lives.
He afterwards moved to Athens, Pa,
where he died in 1906. The old
homestead erected by him is still
standing, and is known as Elm Cot
tage." One of his sons, William, at
ter whom the deceased was named,
was lawyer, whose books and papers
fell into the hands of Dan Elwell. 1t
was the perusal of these that in
spired the young mind of the future
jurist with the idea OF becoming a
lawyer. Dan Elwell died in 1868 at
the age of 94 years, and his wife
died in 1858 at the age of eighty.three
years. They had eight children,
William being the fourth child and
third son. Two of the sons were
clergymen, John an Eplscopalian, and
King a Methodist. The youngest
son Edward, was a lawyer, and also
became Judge in Wisconsin. All
are now dead
William received good academic
education and continued his studies
years after his school days. He began

teaching school when but seventeen
years of age, and taught for several
years. In 1897, having previously
acquired knowledge of surveying,|
he was employed with the corps OF
[engineers under Chief Engineer John
Randall, engaged under the authority
|of the State in running advance or|
exploring lines on both sides of the|
North Branch of the Susquehanna|
River from the State line south, fol
the canal proposed to be constructed
from the State line to tide water. The|
/ use of the compass and other practi
cal knowledge acquired during the|
progress Of that survey was afterward|
very beneficial to him in preparing
(ejectment cases for trial. In Septem
Der, 1890, he commenced the study
OF law in the Office and under the
preceptorship Of Hon. Horace Willis.
ton, lawyer of the old school WE'LL
versed in the principles Of the com
mon law. He came to the bar in the
State of New York, and was familiar
( with equity practice and principles as
administered by the courts Of that
Estate, under the administration of
rChancellor Kent and other eminent
judges of that day. On the 18th of
BFebrua-y, 1883, Judge Elwell was ad
Emitted to the bar of Bradford county.
aHe at once became the partner Of

Nan Office at Towanda and for the next
4sixteen years the firm continued in
spractlce in the northern tier OF
1counties.
4 In I84o the senior partner was ap
3pointed judge of the district. From
s that time until 1862 the junior con
stinued the practice alone, retaining all
8the business of the old firm. In I84I

q House of Representatives for 1892

s In the course of his practice Judge
Elwell had been often employed to
procure the release of persons who
had been committed for the non-pay

barbarity of the law which permitted
arrest and Imprisonment for such a
8cause, he, without a petition request
