Elliott, Augustus, circa 1900-1920

Husband of Sarah Ann Cramer
B. 1838 Virginia D. 1921 Michigan
Augustus was born in Virginia. He followed his older brother David to Ohio as a young man. Augustus enlisted in the Union Army in 1862, a few months after his oldest son was born. He had at least one brother who fought for the Confederacy. Family legend has it that though fighting on opposing sides, he was reunited with a rebel brother at an army hospital during the war. This is thought to be a picture of Augustus, but this has not be absolutely confirmed. The copy handed down to Melinda Strong was labelled on the back "Uncle Burt Elliott," presumably in error. Becky Asif had an identical picture handed down in her family, unlabelled, but was told that it was Augustus Elliott.
