Jud
Elliott, who has been in the hospital corp. at Fort Leavenworth, died Saturday
night at that post after a short illness. He was one of our most popular young
men and since the opening of the Spanish War has been in the service of the
United States. He enlisted as a private in Company E when the war broke out and
although a strong and healthy young man he took sick while in camp and came
home on furlough. He seemed to recover his health however and when Company E
was mustered out he re-enlisted in the service, joining the hospital corp. at
Fort Leavenworth, where he had been stationed. He again fell a victim to
disease and after a short sickness; he died Saturday night at the hospital. He
was the son of J. C. Elliott, of this city and had been a resident of
Hutchinson for years. His father left Saturday night for Leavenworth in
response to a telegram. His mother is prostrated by the sad news. He had been
home until a couple a couple weeks ago on furlough and seemed to be in the best
of health at that time, and the sad news of his death will surprise his
friends. Mr. Elliott was a Modern Woodman being a member of the lodge at
Meridan, Kansas. His remains will probably arrive over the Santa Fe tonight and
the funeral will be conducted probably tomorrow, under the auspice of the
Woodmen lodge of this city.
