1905 History Biographical Index
The following information is abstracted from,
 "The County of Williams"
  William Henry Shinn, Northwestern Historical Assoc., Madison, WI, 1905.

"JAMES A ELDER, proprietor of the Central Livery Barn and a
progressive business man of Bryan, Williams county, O., was born
on the farm two miles northeast of that city, on December 31, 1874.
He is the son of Franklin and Caroline (Arnold) Elder, the former
a native of Pennsylvania and the latter of Ohio.  His grandfather,
Mark Elder, was one of the pioneer settlers of Bryan, having come from
Wayne county, O., to Williams County, when Franklin Elder
was a boy and before the era of railroads.  He owned a farm adjoining
the corporation line of Bryan and followed, for a time, stock
buying.  Later he engaged in the ice business.  He died at his home
early in the nineties, having reached a ripe old age.  Franklin Elder
was born near Harrisburg, Pa., on March 20, 1843.  He first engaged
 in the manufacture of brick and followed that occupation for twenty-
two years.  While engaged in the brick business he also conducted
 successfully his farm interests.  At the breaking out of the Civil War
he enlisted in Company H of the Third Ohio Cavalry and served two
years, a part of that time in a Confederate prison.  For seven years
he held the office of superintendent of the County Infirmary, having
been elected to that office as a Republican, and for quite a number of
years he was trustee of Pulaski township.  He is now practically
living a retired life on his well-improved farm of ninety-five acres two
miles east of Bryan.  His wife was born in Bryan and is the daughter
 of George Arnold, a blacksmith by trade and a distiller by occupation,
who died twenty-seven years ago.  The following children have
been born to them:  Carrie, who is deceased; Blanche, the wife of
Hervey Lindsey, a farmer living three miles northeast of Bryan;
James A., and Luella, the wife of Melvin McKarns, a farmer living
two and one-half miles northeast of Bryan.  James A. Elder grew to
manhood on the home farm and was educated at Bryan, Pulaski,
Shawnee Mound, Mo., and the Tri-State Normal at Angola, Ind.
After leaving school in 1894 he took charge of the home farm while
his father was at the Infirmary and remained there until 1900, when
he purchased the livery business of Joel [HIVELY], of Bryan.  Here, in
addition to a general livery business, he deals largely in buying and
selling horses.  In 1891 he bought a livery stable in Pioneer, this
county, which he managed two years and then sold.  On April 1, of
the following year, he purchased the Fayette Livery and Sale Stable
of Fayette, Fulton county, and on April 1, 1904, the business at
Alvordton, running it about two months.  On May 18 of the same year
he purchased the livery and bus line of Montpelier, O., and sold it in
April following.  On November 1, 1900, he was united in marriage
to Miss Pearl, the daughter of Dr. Samuel Keiser, of Bryan.  She is
identified with the Progressive Brethren church."

FRANK ELDER obit:
"Frank ELDER Suddenly Called Early Sunday Morning -- Story of His Life"
Frank ELDER died suddenly last Sunday morning at his home northeast of town.
He had been in poor health for a good while, but in the past few days had felt better than
for a long time, and was encouraged to believe that he was on the mend.
Saturday evening he came to town with Mrs. Elder and was about the streets until bed time,
with no thought of the fact that it was his last night on earth.
  In the night he was taken with heart failure, and a doctor was summoned
who did all he could to relieve the patient, and left him early in the morning thinking that he would soon be all right.
 But towards morning another attack came, and this proved fatal, the end coming between five and six o'clock.
  Frank Elder was among the best known men of the county.
  In his prime he was a fine appearing man, hearty and strong and always active.
  He served as superintendent of the county Infirmary for a number of years and made one of the
best officers the county ever had.  For years he was prominent in Republican politics, and was always
loyal and energetic in advancing the cause of the principles in which he believed.
Ill health forced him to abandon much of his activity recently, but he was in town often and preserved his genial demeanor to the last.
  At the time of his death he was 63 years five months and 19 days old, having been born in Harrisburg, Pa., March 20th, 1843.
  He served in the Civil War belonging to Co. H. Third Ohio Cavalry.
  He owned a fine farm on the Pulaski road, where with his wife he enjoyed the last few years of life.
  Three daughters and one son were born to him, one daughter having preceeded him to the other world.
The remaining children, Mrs. Lindsey, Mrs. McKarnes and Jas A., with the devoted wife, remain to mourn their loss.
  Funeral services were held at the house Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock and the burial was in Fountain Grove.
