Mr. Duncan is a native of Missouri, born May 13, 1866. In that state he grew to manhood and acquired his education, ... agriculture as a means of gaining a livelihood. In 1891 he came to Whitman county and resumed, in the vicinity of Tekoa, the occupation he had theretofore followed. In this he continued for eight consecutive years, but in 1899 he moved into the town of Tekoa and embarked in the livery business. In the spring of that year he was appointed constable, and in November, 1900, he was elected by the franchises of the people to that office. In May of the same year he had been appointed city marshal. ... His marriage was solemnized in the state of Missouri on June 2, 1887, Miss Julia Davidson, a native of Missouri, then becoming his wife.

Pg.256: FRANK ELLIOTT came to Stevens county in 1892, and is at present most favorably located on Hunter creek, seven miles east of Hunters, at Alyea, engaged in diversified farming. He was born in Harrison county, Missouri January 16, 1860. His father, Colonel Thomas C. Elliott is a native of Kentucky, born January 6, 1820. In 1850, he was freighting across the plains for the government, and during this time he participated in a number of skirmishes with hostile indians. He was married in 1845, his wife dying six years later. In 1854 (GDH: mar. 6 Dec. 1853 Harrison Co. MO) he was united in marriage to Mary Duncan, the mother of our subject.
Colonel Elliott enlisted in the confederate service as a private, but rose by merit to become the colonel of the regiment, and served under General Marmaduke. It is claimed that he is, at present, the oldest Free Mason in the four states of Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. In 1858, at the period of the trouble between the United States Goverment and the Mormons, Colonel Elliott served as guide for a company of soldiers who took six hundred head of beef cattle across the plains.
At Salt Lake, he was introduced by Brigham Young to sixty of the latter's wives. Among his hunting exploits in California was the killing of three grizzly and two brown bears, and one California Lion. Colonel Elliott has been in every state in the Union. For the past ten years, he has been a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which denomination his wife has been a devoted member since she was seventeen years of age. Colonel Elliott is now eighty-four and his wife seventy years of age.
Our subject, Frank Elliott, was married December 8, 1887 to Emma Duncan, daughter of William H. Duncan, both natives of Kentucky. Her mother was Martha E. Duncan and both of her parents are dead. She came west with her brother, Avery J., now residing in Whitman county, Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott came to their present home in 1892, and settled on Hunter Creek. Here he has one hundred and sixty acres of land, a fine house, barn and orchard, the land being well irrigated and very productive. They have seven children, Alpha E.,, wife of D. H. Dunham, Albert E., Lee Roy, Frances H., Georgia E or L?, Charles R, and Mary E.
