Notes for JOHN ELDER:
The oldest son of Judge Samuel and Nancy Margaret Elder. He and his wife ived on a farmeast of Eldorado, Illinois until old age forced retirement.

"John Elder enlisted May 15, 1832 to fight the Indians under "Black Hawk." He was in Capt. John Bays' Co. Gallatin County and was furloughed Aug. 9, 1832. All enlisted from MAy 15 to Aug. 12, 1832 were sent home three days before time for discharge -- mustered out Aug. 12, their pay was $15.50 per month"

Edir Elder was left with her little son Frank, to carry on during the time her husband was gone. It is this devotion to duty, the stamina, and determination to do things, willingly, we find before us is the reason we are proud we are of the Elder Clan.
