On his way to the upper part of [[New Brunswick]] to begin a series of gospel meetings he became suddenly ill and God changed the plans which had been made. While in the hospital just before his homegoing, he spoke of the many small, out-of-the-way places to which he had hoped to carry the gospel, displaying the true spirit of the servant until the very end. Br. Elliott is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Elliott, of Wallace, [[Nova Scotia]]."
