VANISON M. ELLIOTT.
Alexander Elliott, or MeElliott, as it seems to have been written in his day, figured as an early settler of Ohio at an early period of the state's his- tory. He was married in Montgomery county, to Rebecca Ewing, and re- moved to Kentucky, but a few years later came to North Vernon. Indiana. An old patent for land, handed down in the family, indicates that he settled in Decatur county prior to December 26, 1826, and the amount called for by the document was ninety-nine and sixty one-hundredths acres, all woodland. He settled on this wild tract and spent the remainder of his life in clearing and cultivating his property. He was eighty-five years of age when he died. and ranked among the first pioneers of that part of Indiana where he located. Ilis children were: James, John P .. Robert, Joseph. Rebecca and Purcill !. Robert, the third of this family, was born at North Vernon, Indiana, and later in life became the owner of a farm in Noble township. His first wife was Martha Neal, by whom he had two children, now dead. His second min- riage was to Eliza Neal, by whom he had one son, Vanison Elliott, who was born in Noble township. Shelby county. Indiana. January 1. 1857. He grew up on the farm where he now resides, and attended the district school in win- ter, helped on the farm in the luisy seasons, and otherwise fulfilled the de -- tiny of the typical country boy. Ile has prospered in life, and own four bua- dred and thirty acres of land in Noble township. an interest in forty-six acres in Washington township, and one hundred and twenty acres in Stoddard county. Missouri. For some years past he has been taking life more easily than in the strenuous days of early manhood. now contenting himself with supervising the management of his fine estate.

JOIIN W. GORDON.
For many years, in fact since the pioneer days the name of Gordon has been one of the best known in Shelby county. They were mostly farmers. achieved success and some of them accumulated large wealth, which was put to good uses in forwarding worthy causes. A sample is the Gordon Orphans Home, a beautiful charity established by the late Knight Gordon, which will ever be a monument to his public-spirit and characteristic charitable im- pulses. The Garden- originated in Virginia, and William Gordon removed from that state to Kentucky, but after marrying there awhile concluded to cross the river into the newer state of Indiana. It was in what the pin- neers call "an carly day" that he made his appearance in Franklin county, where he entered land and, in course of time, became a farmer of some con- sequence. He reared a family of seven sons and six daughters. Leonidas Gordon. one of his sons, was born in Franklin county, Indiana. March 10, 1822, but later in life removed to Shelby county, where he became a prosper- ous farmer and highly respected citizen. After a long, active and useful life he died in 1891, at his fine farm home in Addison township. He married Julia A. Pond, born in Franklin county, of parents who emigrated from Dun- dee, Scotland.
John W. Gordon, best known of the sons of Leonidas, was born on the old homestead in Marion township. Shelby county, Indiana. April 20. 1850. His early training was that of a farm boy, and his whole life has been devoted to agricultural pursuit. His education was acquired in the district scho ds. but he has been a man of observation and reading, who added, as the years went by, to his stock of useful information. At the present time he is one of the solid farmers of the county, owning four hundred acres of good farm land, besides his home at 57 East Mechanic street, Shelbyville, where he lives in enjoyment of all the comfort, of life.
November 25. 1873. Mr. Gordon married Mary A .. daughter of James and Mary (Larrison) Johnson, who came here from Hamilton county. Ohio. The mother was born in 1829. and is now living with her daughter at the

Mr. Gordon is fond of company and all who visit his home are pleasantly entertained.
JAMES OLIVER HUFFMAN.
The substantial citizen whose name introduces this sketch is one of the best known and most highly esteemed men of the township in which he re- sides, the name he hears having been familiar in Shelby county ever since the first appearance of white settlers in this highly famed part of the state. George B. Huffman, the subject's father, was born in Dayton, Ohio, but when quite young accompanied his mother t . Shelby county, where he grew up in what is now Marion township, and received such educational training as the indifferent subscription schools of those days afforded. When a young man he engaged in teaching, which he followed with gratifying success for a number of years, and later was elected Justice of the Peace, which office he filled with marked ability for many years. He was long familiarly known as "Squire Huffman." a title he bore to the end of his days, and during the formative period of the county few men were as inthiential as he, and none stood higher in the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens.
"Squire Huffman" was a man of great energy as the amount of land he cleared and improved attests, beginning, as he did, with a small patch arcand his little cabin home and continuing his labors until the dense forest on his farm was removed and the soil reduced to cultivation. In an early day he marketed the most of his crops and produce at Greensburg. but later took such an active and prominent part in developing the resources of the country that, largely through his instrumentality. good trading points were established nearer home. Before her marriage Mrs. Huffman was Mary Plummer, a native of North Carolina, who came to Shelby county with her parents, who were also among the pioneers. A mere child when the family settled in Ma rion township, she grew up to young womanhood amid the vicissitudes of the early days, and in due time became the wife of the gentleman with whom the residue of her life was so closely interwoven, and to whom she bore eleven children, five living. viz : E. T. Huffman, James Oliver, of this review : Mrs. Katherine Winton, John Riley and William Milo.

CHADWICK'S HISTORY OF SHELBY CO., IND.
James Oliver Huffman is a native of Shelby county, Indiana, and date- his birth from February 20th, of the year 1854. His early life on the home farm in Marion township was devoid of thrilling incident or tragie experi- ences, having been spent at manual labor in the fields during the summer sea- sons, and in the district schools in the winter time. He grew up a strong and rugged lad, and as he advanced toward the years of manhood became self- reliant and amply able to discharge the duties which fell to him as his father's assistant on the farm. On attaining his majority he engaged in agriculture for himself, and has since pursued the same with the success which comes from consecutive industry and judicious management, being at this time one of the representative farmers of his township.
In the year 1876 Mr. Huffman was united in marriage with Sarah Elizt- beth Harold. daughter of J. W. Harokl. of Greenfield. this state, but formerly a resident of Brandywine township. Shelby county, where Mrs. Huffman's birth occurred on the 7th day of November. 1858. Mr. and Mrs. Huffman are the parents of four children, the oldest of whom. Lillie May, was born December 25, 1876, married George C. Rhoades and lives in Van Buren township. Shelby county ; Mamie Ethel. the second daughter, was born April 30, 1883. is the wife of Evan Lewis, of Hanover township: Bertha J., whose birth occurred February 21. 1887. is unmarried. the above being the living members of the family. There is one child deceased, a son by the name of Judge Walter, who was born July 14, 1881. and departed this life at the age of eleven years.
Mrs. Huffman's family were among the early pioneers of Shelby county. her grandfather moving to this part of the state when the country was but sparsely settled, and entering land in the township of Brandywine, where he cleared and improved a farm and attained high standing as a citizen. Ile reared a family of nine children. the majority of whom grew to mature year's and became well situated. Mrs. Huffman being the eldest in the number.
As indicated in a preceding paragraph. Mr. Hoffman has devoted his attention very closely and successfully to his chosen calling, and is now the possessor of a comfortable fortune, owning a fine farm on which are some of the best improvements in the township, not the least of which is a large and commodious residence, which is equipped with all the comforts and con- veniences calculated to make rural life agreeable and desirable. The farm. which is near the boundary line of Marion and Van Buren townships, in one of the most productive sections of the county, is well adapted to general agri- culture and pasturage, and in fertility and all that goes to make a first class country home compares favorably with any other place in the vicinity.
Mr. Huffman has ever tried to realize in his own life and conduct his high ideal of manhood and citizenship. He belongs to the Knights of Pythias

ALEXANDER G. MELLIS.
The well known gentleman whose name appears above belongs to that class of citizens whose lives show no meteoric effects. but who, by their sup- port of the moral, political and social status for the general good, promote the real welfare of their respective communities and are therefore deserving of honorable mention on the pages of history. "For nearly a half century he has seen the development of Shelby county, playing no inconspicuous part in the same, and as a result of his life of industry, honesty and integrity he is deserving of the esteem in which he is held by all who know him.
Alexander G. Mellis was born April 24. 1845, in Jefferson county. In- diana, on a farm where he learned lessons of thrift and economy that served him well in the subsequent battle of life. He is the son of Archibald and Jane ( Brander) Mellis, both natives of Scotland. They came to the United States in an early day and penetrated to the interior, locating in Indiana. After residing for a time in Jefferson county they moved to Shelby county. in 1865.
Archibald Mellis was a miller by profession, and there was no better in his day. He made a success of this line of business. building up an extensive trade and establishing a good home amid the somewhat primitive conditions he found upon his arrival in this country. He purchased a mill from J. Car- men : this was an old sash mill.
Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Mellis were typical representatives of that ster- ling class of people from the far-famed land of hills and heather. rugged. strictly honest and very active, and wherever their lot was cast they soon had loyal friends among their neighbors.
Alexander G. Mellis attended the common schools in Clark county, In- diana, receiving only a limited education in those early days; however, he has become well informed on general topics by reason of extensive home reading and by contact with the world at large. Following in the footsteps of his father, he early decided to become a miller, and when only a boy went to work in his father's mill. Being an apt pupil and his father a competent tutor, he made rapid progress in learning the mysteries of this line of busi- ness which he has so successfully conducted in Shelby county, becoming known as one of the leadling mill men in this locality. He was the owner of a grist-mill, a saw mill and a general store at the town of Freeport. one
MR. AND MRS. ALEXANDER G. MELLIS.
CHADWICK'S HISTORY OF SHELBY CO., IND.
of the oldest trading centers in the county. He made a success of all these and laid by a competency. He sold the mill and store nine years ago, and he is now practically retired. but still oversees his large interests, in a way. He has a fine farm of several hundred acres, which he has improved to a high state and which yields bounteous crops from year to year. He is also a di- rector and vice-president of the Union State Bank, at Morristown. All this he has made himself. practically unaided, having been a hard worker and a good manager, devoting his attention strictly to what he had in hand, master- ing all details with astonishing ease and alacrity.
On January 1. 1867. Mr. Mellis started the New Year right by forming a matrimonial alliance with Melissa Sally, a daughter of a fine old pioneer family and the fit life companion for such a man as Mr. Mellis, no little of his success being due to her encouragement and counsel.
To Mr. and Mrs. Alexander G. Mellis five children were born, all now deceased. Their names were as follows: Florence Lillian, born October 15. 1800, died November 20, 1879: Ada May, born April 9, 1872, died Novem- ber 12. 1872: Sarah J., born April 30, 1874. died August 2. 1874: Josephine. born November 6. 1876. died June 9, 1878: one chill died in infancy. un- named.
Mr. Mellis had the distinction of serving his country during the Civil war in that brave band of home-defenders who stopped the intrepid Confed erate leader. Morgan, on his northern raid. Two brothers of Mr. Mellis were soldiers in the regular volunteer Union army.
A public-spirited man and a loyal Republican, Mr. Mellis has always taken unusual interest in whatever tended to promote the interests of his home country, lending his support wherever possible. Both he and his estimable wife are charter 'members of the Methodist Protestant church, at Freeport : in fact. Mr. Mellis was largely instrumental in building the same and he has been a liberal supporter of it from the first.
.As may be inferred from what has already been said, Mr. Mellis is a man of much force of character, whose good judgment has seldom directed him otherwise than in the right course, and but few men are better known and none held in higher esteem in Shelby county than he.
