William "Bud" Bradford Eicke, Jr., formerly of Bay City, Texas, passed away on October 22, 2020 at the age of 87. He was born on April 29, 1933 to William Bradford Eicke and Lura Mae (Strickland) Eicke in Hemphill, Texas. Bud was raised in Bronson, Texas and graduated from high school at the age of 15. He joined the Army and spent time overseas in Metz France. After the Army, Bud joined Sun Oil Company (SUNOCO) in Texas as a "doodlebugger" searching for oil reserves across the southwest. While working in west Texas, Bud met Deloris (Dee) Fockler while she was working in a restaurant. They fell in love and married, eventually raising five boys.
In 1963, Bud and Dee settled down in Vidor, Texas. Bud continued to progress his career with SUNOCO, and started tinkering with a new technology ? color TV's. Bud would spend some of his evenings with friends and family carrying a collection of vacuum tubes and "optimizing" everyone's color TV sets. Bud and the family would make special trips to Bronson and Lake City Michigan, so the boys could spend time with their grandparents ? going fishing, shooting, farming, horse riding, milking cows and bailing hay.
In 1970, the family moved to Plano, Texas so Bud could work at the SUNOCO Dallas office. He was recognized as a Senior Geophysicists. He was very proud and would tell everyone he was the first Senior Geophysicist without a college degree. While working for SUNOCO, Bud travelled all over the world including two trips to the North Pole looking for oil.
Bud worked for SUNOCO for over 30 years and retired at 55 years old.
In 1988, Bud moved to Bay City, Texas so he could spend more time fishing in the gulf. While at Bay City, Bud started a second career working as a sales representative for Trojan Explosives. Bud developed a shaped charge explosive that more efficiently focused the energy wave so lighter weight explosives could be used for oil exploration and is continued to be used today in seismic research. With Trojan, Bud travelled all over Mexico and South America helping those countries establish their oil exploration industries.
Bud lived in Bay City, Texas over the last 20 years and would enjoy his children and grandchildren when they would come down to visit. He always took them to Matagorda beach and he enjoyed watching them play in the sand and water. Some days he would take his boat and grandkids out fishing or just for a ride. Afterward, he always took them to his local watering hole, K-2 Steakhouse, and would fill them up with food and brag to everyone what great grandkids he had. We will forever be grateful to his K-2 friends. They became our friends and we truly loved them as they were "his Bay City Family".
Bud is survived by his sons; Michael Dennis Eicke and wife, Karen of Benbrook, Texas; Charles Eicke and wife, Rose of The Colony, Texas; Philip Barry Eicke of Trenton, Texas; and George David (Sam) Eicke of Wylie, Texas; his grandchildren, Mark William Eicke, Jessica Eicke-Reinartz, Alex Eicke, Brandon Hartwell, Cody Eicke, Ryan Eicke, Jeremy Eicke, and Joshua Eicke, and his brother; Paul Eicke, and sister; Emily McClinton and husband, Herman, and many Nieces and Nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; William Bradford and Lura Mae Eicke; his son, William Bradford Eicke; his younger brothers, Cecil and George Eicke; and his older sister, Louise Eicke-Childs.
A "come and go" remembrance gathering will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2020 from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m., at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home. Only a limited number of guests will be allowed to enter the funeral home facility at any one time to maintain social distancing.

Mark Freeman shows that prior to his marriage to Nancy Blakenship he was married to both Sarah Woodson and Judith Woodson, both in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He shows the marriage to Sarah as being on 2 Mar 1779 and the marriage to Juditn on 29 Feb 1780. However, in February, 2013, Ruth Hasten Walsh emailed that "Sarah Woodson married Enoch Ward Ellingotn; her mother Judith gave conscent. Some transcribed marriage records incorrectly claim Enoch married a Judith Woodson; suggest you ask someone to look at microfilm of marriage record to verify this information."
Per the DAR application prepared by Eva Mae Halbert Hackney on July 18, 1973, Jeremiah Ellington was a patriot of the American Revolution. The DAR National Number was 394711. The published authorities cited were Abstracts of Old 96 and Abbeville District, S.C. Wills and Bonds, pages 102 and 103 by Lucas (wills of Dewi & Jeremiah Ellington) and DAR Patriot Index, p. 218. Jeremiah's services in assisting in the establishment of American Independence during the War of Revolution were as follows: Jeremiah Ellington was allowed a claim for furnishing supplies to the Continental Army at a Court held for the County of Amelia, Virginia May 24, 1782. The reference for this were pages 35 to 49 at the Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA Claims on Record at Va. State Library. Eva also lists the children of Jeremiah and Frances Ellington. No reference to support this is given. Furthermore, some of the dates given for the children seem as Frances Jones would be to old to be their mother. In her AMERICAN PIONEERS TREE on Rootsweb World Connect, Vivian Peacock also has a very similar listing of children, with differing dates. She also has two additional children listed. A slightly different list, with yet again differing birthdates, is found on the Freeman's online tree. I have entered the names and dates from the Freeman's tree, but this should be considered simply the starting point for further research.
The Mormon Ancestral File shows Jeremiah as the son David Ellington and Martha Ann TUCKER of Amelia County, Virginia. Vivian Peacock, on her AMERICAN PIONEERS TREE on Rootsweb World Connect Project, shows Jeremiah instead as the son of David Ellington Sr and Martha Fowlkes. Mark Freeman also shows his mother as Martha FOWLKES.

Avis Augusta Smith had the following to say about her grandfather, for whom she was named: "My grandfathers name was Augustus Eliott. He was a redhead and wore a Van Dyke beard. He was part Dutch and was from Culpepper, Virginia. During the Civil War he fought in the Union Army. He had five brothers who fought in the Confederate Army. He was wounded at Gettysburg, and was at a hospital with one of his brothers, who was also wounded. His family was Baptist. They had owned a Tobacco plantation, which was destroyed by the war. After the war, he moved to Michigan. The rest of his family stayed in Virginia. He had a sister who was still well to do after the war. He had been trained as a tobacco auctioneer, but obviously there was little need for that in Michigan. He became a general auctioneer instead." Augustus and his wife Sarah lived with Avis while she was growing up.
Though the essence of Avis's recollections about her grandfather appear to be correct, some of the details seem to have gotten garbled. Although Augustus may have lived at some time in Culpepper, it appears that he actually was born in Washington, Virginia (per his Pension Application). His occupation is also shown as "Farmer" and not auctioneer, though he easily could have been both. He had also moved to Ohio prior to the onset of the war. From the 1850 census, it appears Augustus had only four brothers, not five, although is is possible an another brother might have left home prior to the census. Although I did find the name of a William Elliot in an index of Confederate Pensioners from Rappahannock County, I did not see the name of any of the other brothers. Additionally, since older brother David Elliot had also settled in Ohio prior to the Civil War, it is possible that he might also have enlisted in the Union Army, or stayed neutral.
Although Augustus was wounded at war, it was in December 1862 in Petersburgh, West Virginia. He was hospitilized, first at Church Hospital and then at the Canal Invalid Hospital, both in Cumberland, Maryland. He was given a medical discharge in April, 1863. This was several months before the Battle of Gettysburg in July of that same year.
Augustus Elliott was enrolled in the Union Army on the 22nd day of August, 1862 at Fostoria, Ohio in Captain R.A. Kirkwoood's Co I, 123rd Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, to serve for 3 years or during the war. He mustered into service as a private on the 24th day of September 1862 at Thomasville. According to a letter from the War Department, Surgeon General's Office, Record and Pension Division, Washington D.C., dated April 18, 1872 "It appears from the records in this Office, that Augustus E. Elliott, Private, Co I, 123 Regiment, Ohio Volunteers was admitted to General Hospital, Cumberland, MD, January 7, 1863 for treatment for Neuralgia of head, and was discharged the service April 10, 1863, because of Neuraligia of head. No records of Perryville, Md. on file. The Reg't Register commences on June 13, 1863. JJ Woodward Asst Surgeon US Army Vol 29, No 1578"
What exactly happened to cause his hospitilization and discharge is unclear. And although Augustus applied for a disability pension in 1870, it appears that he did not begin receiving any payments until around 1921. The original Surgeon's Certificate of Disability stated he was unfit to perform the duties of a soldier because of "Neuralgia of head resulting from a severe wound received upon the top of his head about a year ago--previous to enlistment. There is much nervous prostration and deafness." A fellow soldier, Jacob Bowman, thought Augustus was hospitalized after a case of Typhoid fever. It was also noted that his "Heart is very irritable after slight exertion and standing the pulse is 120. Heart(beats?) are clear and regular and apex beat is heard in normal position on 5th ??? space"
However, on his original Declaration for an Invalid Pension, filed on August 13, 1869, Augustus explained that he was disabled "by having his right hip dislocated in the following manner: on the night of that day Imbodens' Rebel Cavalry having surprised and captured the outposts made a sudden attack on the Camp before it could be alarmed & things were real lively for a time. In trying to get out of the way of flying bullets, cavalry soldiers...being himself unarmed he did it the darkness of night...fall over a precipice some 15 or 20 feet high thusly dislocating his hip. For this he was treated in the General Hospital of Cumberland to the 11th of April 1863 when discharged."
In another affidavit filed June 20, 1870, Augustus stated that while in the line of duty at Petersburgh, West Virginia, about December 19, 1862, he sustained a dislocation of his right hip from which a permanent disability has resulted. That the injury was received by falling over a precipice some ten or twenty feet high in an attempt to avoid capture by the enemy. He elaborated (and perhaps exaggerated) his story in an affidavit filed August 27, 1870, in which he stated that about December 20, 1862, while on duty guarding commissary store at Petersburgh, W. Va., he, with others, was captured by the rebels, and the following night he escaped; in so doing "he fell down an embankment, about thirty five feet high, spraining and bruising--to such an extent to render him unfit for duty from that time until his discharge. From the effects of said fall he received a rupture in the right side from which he is still suffering. He also alleged heart disease caused by hardships which he endured while escaping." Jacob Dillon of Fostoria, Ohio signed an affidavit stating that he was a member of the same company and regiment and that he was present at the time while Augustus was escaping from the Confederate forces, and actually saw him fall "from a ledge of rocks about twenty feet in Height." Whatever happened to Augustus, it appears he was in very poor physical condition at the time of his discharge. John W. Green testified that he was in the Canal Hospital with Augustus, who had "came to the said hospital going with a cane, and he was very pale and poor, he had a bad ankle and complained of his hip. His privates were badly swollen...I do not know if he was ruptured or not. He complained of soreness in the left side and also complained of heart trouble. It seemed difficult for the Claimant to breathe when he was in a reclining position...I heard Dr. C. C. Perry the hospital doctor say that the claimant was unfit for duty caused by heart disease and as soon as he was able was going to send him home." Alexander McDonel, a friend from Ohio stated that "I have known Augustus Elliott for 30 years and have always known him to be a man of good character and steady habits. I have done work for him. I knew him well in Ohio before he enlisted and I believe he was perfectly sound at the date of his enlistment. I enlisted in 1861 Co H 21 OVI. I saw him again some time early in 1863 when he arrived at the depot on his way home. He was then a living skelton going on a cane."
According to Family Tree Maker CD 450 County and Family Histories: OH 1780-1970, Disk 5, Seneca County, Liberty Township (C) Broderbund, "August Elliot" was a trustee of the Ebenezer Chapel Society, Bettsville, (which) was incorporated May 19, 1865, along with William Cramer and Henry Cramer (his brother's in law).
On June 20, 1870 when he filed for the invalid pension (Application #157769, Certificate #886142). He was described as 6 feet tall, light complexion, with blue eyes and light hair.

QUESTION TO RESOLVE
--Who is Burt Elliot? Among the effects of Avis Smith Benkelman, daughter of Ida Alice Elliott, was a picture taken in Ionia County, MI titled, "Uncle Burt Elliott and wife." Could the Bert Ellliot below be another relative? If so, how?Rebecca Asif of Burnsville, Minnesota is also a great-great-great granddaughter of Augustus Elliott. She received an identical picture from her aunt, and assumes the picture is of Augustus and Sarah, and that my copy must be mislabeled
There is no record of Augustus having a brother named Burt, nor of Flora, Ida and Ellen having a brother Burt. In the 1891 Ionia City Directory that was on Ancestory.com, I did find a listing for "Eliot, Bert Occ Farm Lab N.E. Smith Bds. Same page 212" There was a 3-8-1947 death record (G-468) for a Bert Elliott but his parents were John R. and Martha Jane (Lamie) Elliott who was born in Sugarin Falls, OH. Bert was b 3-30-1881, and lived at route 2 in Charlotte.
Another possibility is that, Avis's husband, Ben, had a second cousin named Burton Elliott, born in May 1883 in Cass City. He was the son of David Elliott of Brockford, New York and Matilda Krapf, and a grandson of Frederick Krapf and Dorothea Benkelman. Could this be the "Uncle Bert Elliott" of the picture? It does not seem likely as the picture was taken in an Ionia County photography studio, and not in Tuscola County where his family lived.
Patrons of Rural Route 3 Honor Burt A. Elliott
Farmers and Families Give Party Friday at Novesta Church of Christ

Elliott, rural letter carrier, for a long period of years. We have always foudn him congenial and courteous and the last work in rendering accomodation to patrons. We wich him every happiness and prosperity which he so richly deserves."

Called Darius? on the 1850 census. Based on his date of birth and the fact that he is not present on the 1860 Viriginia census, I assumed he was the David Elliot who lived in Seneca County, Ohio in 1860 (Seneca Co, Loudon Township, page 85). Per Augustus's pension application, this is his brother.
Per the 1860 census, the family is listed as follows:
David M. Elliot, 35, M, Farmer, R/E 1000, PP 300, Virginia, Can't read or write
Mary E. , 27, F, Virginia
Marshal H, 5, M, Ohio
Mary A, 3, F, Ohio William G, 8 mos, Ohio

Elliotte, Mary A age 18 Attending School Ohio

Elliotte, Gideon age 10 Attending school Ohio
Elliotte, Mary E. age 6 Attending School Ohio <---probably actually Sarah E. as per 1880 census
Elliotte, David T. age 5 Attending School Ohio
Unlike his brother Augustus, he did NOT indicate that his parents were foreign born

Brenda Kessler Elliott, who is researching this line, confirmed that his name was David and not Darius.
There IS a Darius J. Elliot listed in 1860 Ohio census, in Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ward 4, pg 218. However, he is shown as 21 years old (making his year of birth approximately 1839) and as born in Ohio. It is unlikely this is the same Darius Elliot.
On Kay Parker McCary's annotated transcription of the Halbert Cemetery she is shown as a daughter of James Elliott and Laura McAfee.

Francis supplied Art Peck the details of the 10 original Benkelman emigrants and many of their descendants in the late 1970's. He was also one of the cousins of BonnieMargaret Jacobs who searched their Bibles and records and picture collections to provide information for her 1981 manuscipt about the history of the Benkelman family.
Francis never married. He worked for the Mill End Store for more than 50 years, beginning in Cass City and later transferring to the Bay City location. He spent his weekend's in Cass City.
Art Peck also provided the following obituary for Francis, presumably from the Bay City newspaper. A nearly identical version of this obituary was published in the December 14, 1988 issue of the Cass City Chronicle, page 8.

Unable to locate in the ancestry or familysearch.org census indexes for 1870 or 1880 in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Perhaps he died in the Civil War? Or moved away from Rappahannock County? There are a few James Elliott's of a similar age in both Virginia and West Virginia, but nothing to positively tie them into the family of Joseph and Ellen Elliott.
James H. Elliott Sr emailed, in April 2013, that "James Oliver Elliott along with his brother William were wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. James later died of his wounds . I have been trying to locate burial site/ haven't had much success. Still looking. He is listed killed in action."
John Elliott and his wife were early settlers and business owners in White Couty, as detailed in an article titled "Founding of Phillips Township" (Carmi Times Sesquicentennial Edition 9 Dec 1965, p 1), excerpted below: "Phillips Township is situated on the great Wabash River, containing 64 square miles. It was formerly comprised in Fox River precinct. Parts of it lay in Carmi, Burnt Prairie and Gray precincts. At this time it was mostly timberland, the surface hilly, with parts near the rivers low and swampy. The first settlers were James Kahn and Richard Davis, George Hoover, James Hodge, Absalom Driggers, Stephen Stanley, Thomas Poole and Daniel Boultinghouse. In 1809, John Lucas settled about a mile south of what is now Phillipstown. James Davenport stopped there at about the same time. John Fraser came from North Carolina in 1818...Alexander Phillips was another man well known in this part of White County...Others, John Stum, Richard Graves, Walter Higden, JOHN ELLIOTT, Josiah McKnight, Samuel Hughes, James Johnston, James Evans, the Starks, Hans, Randolphs, Charles, Potters, Davises, Whitneds, Crosses, Grahams, and the Creightons. Deer was plentiful as were wild turkeys...Phillipstown was platted in 1837...Crossville was laid out by John Mills, county surveyor for Thomas Cross and SILAS ELLIOTT. In 1883 there was a flouring mill...one tile factory owned by Williams and Rudolph; two general stores run by Blockford and ELLIOTT; one drug store owned by Davenport...a furniture store...one hotel, MRS. ELLIOTT, proprietor; a blacksmith shop...a meat market...
Another article in the same paper contained a biography of William O. Smith, the first doctor in the new village of Crossville (destined to become the metropolis of Phillips Township). It noted that "he established his first office in a corner of the Elliott store, which at that time, was the only store in Crossville. He slept in his office and boarded in the nearby Elliott hotel...(after his marriage he and his wife) moved to their new home on Crossville's Main Street, raising a family of four children, became firm friends of the Cross, Elliott and Kuykendall families and many others....

In extracts of the 1850 and 1860 census prepared by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census that was dated September 19, 1914 the family is listed as follows. This extracts were prepared in connection with a Civil War pension application filed by Augustus Elliott:
Rappahannock County, VA, enumerated 12 Oct 1850
Joseph Elliott,45,M
Ellen,48,F
Darius (David M.), 25,M
Frederick,24,M
Lydia A,23,F
Susan,18,F
Eliza,15,F
Augusta,12,F (sic)
William,10,M
James,8,M
P.O. Washington, Rappahannock County, VA
enumerated 24 July 1860
Frederick Ellett, 27
Joseph, 57
Ellen,53
Lydia A, 25
Susan A,24
Eliza,22
Melvina,20
William H,19
James O,17 Tennessee
Vena, 21(black)
Sarah 11/12 (mulatto)
The Department of Commerce indicated that "it may be that the person named "Augusta" and recorded as a female, returned with the family of Joseph and Ellen Elliott, is the soldier whose age you desire, and that the assistant marshal made a mistake in stating the sex. Very respectfully, Wm. J. Harris, Director."
The ages on the extract in 1860 should be approximately ten years higher than those given in 1850. Most of them only vary a few years however. The actual census records should be examined to see if any of these discrepencies can be resolved. The more likely answer is that whomever answered the census takers questions just guessing at the ages of the members in the household.
It appears that Frederick had assumed the role of the head of the household in 1860, with his parents and siblings living with him. Perhaps his parents had become incompetent or infirm. Darius (David) and Augustus had left home, and there appeared to be three new family members, 20 year old Melvina (perhaps the wife of Frederick or William??), 21 year old Tennesse Vena and her 11 month old daughter Sarah. On Brenda Elliott's web page, Melvina is listed as a daughter. I am assuming she is not since she was not also listed on the 1850 census, and she would have been to young to have been already married in 1850. Additionally, Brenda lists a daughter named Ann, but does not show Lydia A. Could the daughter have been named Lydia Ann?
As of the 1870 Census, Joseph and Ellen were still living with son Frederick, however their other children were no longer in the home. In 1880, only Ellen was still a member of Frederick's household, so it appears that Joseph died sometime between 1870 and 1880.
Joseph was said to have died near Fredericksburg, Maryland.
These census records were retrieved based on a letter that Augustus personally wrote, dated May 11, 1914, to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions. They wanted to prove his age by locating him on the census records with his family. Augustus stated that: "During the year of 1850 and 1860 I lived at Washington City from then to Alexandria then at Little Washington, Rappahanic Co. I did not live with my parents after I was large enough to work for myself. I lived where I worked. I went from these to Fostoria, Ohio where I made my home with my brother David Elliott. My father's name was Joseph Elliott at Little Washington, Rap. Co, VA. Mothers name was Ellen Kenny Elliott. I have answered as best I can remember. Hoping this will be satisfactory I remain Augustus E. Elliott." In a follow up letter, dated June 17, 1914, Augustus elaborated: "From there I lived in Washington, Rapahanoc, Virginia with my father Joseph Elliott. Then I went to Fostoria, Ohio in 1860 where I lived with my brother David Elliott until I went to the war in 1862. In the letter you stated that I did not live with James Monroe. I worked for him and as I had no home I had to live where I worked. You said that I did not live with James T. Monroe in 1860. I went to Fostoria in 1860 but I did not live with him in Alexandria in that year but I was there some time between 1850 and 1860 but the year and date it is impossible for me to remember. Yours, A.E. Elliott."
(Research):Brenda Elliott shows him as the son of Samuel Elliott. Maria Elliott also shows this parentage, based on the book BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF WOOD COUNTY, OHIO, COMMERATIVE VOLUME II, 18797, pp 739-740. Maria received this information from Family Group Sheets compiled by Catherine Gerhart of Westerville, Ohio in January 1797.
This family group sheet furhtermore shows that Samuel Elliott was the father of George, Samuel Jr., Joseph, Susan, Winnie and Lydia.

Pat Welch (patwelch63@hotmail.com) thinks that it is possible Lavina/Lavisa Elliott married William Collins, and can be found with her husband and children in the census enumerations she transcribed below.
Based on the names, naming patterns, and geographic locations, this seems likely. However, the main stumbling block to this theory is that if this is the same Lavisa Elliott, then as of the 1850 Clarke County, Mississippi census, Lavina/Lavisa is enumerated in two households, both as a four year old living with her parents, and as a 19 year old newlywed listed with William Collins, both listings in Clarke County. Perhaps there were errors on either or both census listings, or the Lavisa Elliott that married William Collins was an older sibling or cousin of this Lavina Elliott.
Other researchers instead show she married Stephen Thomas Gilbert, and that they had a large family. Not verified.

Obituary, copied from his FindAGrave memorial page
Mickey Vaughn Elliott was born on August 16, 1926 to Von Bergen & Minnie Bickley Elliott in Hemphill, Texas and passed away peacefully at his home in Austin on Wednesday, the 19th day of August, 2020, three days following his 94th birthday.
Always a proud American, and even prouder Texan, Mickey lived an honorable life of achievement and service to others, and knew that he was blessed beyond measure. Those who met him would quickly sense his abundant optimism, vision, kindness, generosity, faith and most of all, love for family and friends. He always saw the very best in people and found his greatest joy in helping others. He was honest in all that he did and set the standard for all of his family of what it means to live your faith by your words and actions every single day. Mickey will be deeply missed, but his family rejoices for the long, wonderful life that he lived, and the amazing joyful eternal life that he is now living.
Truly a member of the "Greatest Generation", Mickey began working early as a young boy in his family's tomato packing and shipping shed ? and started the first of his many lifetime entrepreneurial endeavors at age 5 selling cold soda pop to the workers in the hot tomato shed, and the farmers who would bring in their tomatoes to sell.
Just a few years later, around age 7, Mickey and his only slightly order aunt Helen became the milk man and milk lady in Hemphill, delivering fresh milk from his parents' cows milked earlier that morning before going to school each day. Neither Helen's or Mickey's legs were long enough to reach the gas pedal of his father's Ford Model T, so they had to improvise and use a two by four piece of lumber to reach the gas pedal to drive the car, and get the job done. As a young boy Mickey also loved to ride his pony named Dolly.
Mickey grew up in the Hemphill United Methodist Church, the Fellowship Hall and Youth Building of which are dedicated to his parents. The Methodist Church has always been the foundation stone of his life, and a great comfort in good times and not so good times. Mickey attended elementary school and high school in Hemphill, graduating early at age 16. He then started college at the University of Texas and was a proud member of the Longhorn Marching Band. However, World War II had begun, and as soon as he was old enough to do so, Mickey enlisted in the U.S. Navy V-12 officers training program at the University of Texas. The Navy subsequently transferred Mickey to Princeton University and then to Columbia University for further naval officer training. For a young man who had never previously traveled outside the State of Texas, getting to see and experience life in New Jersey and New York City was quite an adventure that Mickey thoroughly enjoyed. Upon completion of his officer training, Mickey began training as a Navy deep sea diver at Pier 16 in New York City.
Following V-J Day, when the war was finally over, Mickey was reassigned by the Navy to go to the Caribbean and to South American and captain Navy tanker ships operating in those waters back to harbor in New York City and New Orleans. As a young naval officer visiting New Orleans, he first experienced and quickly developed a love of delicious fresh Gulf seafood, fine French and Cajun cuisine, and New Orleans jazz music.
Upon discharge from the Navy, Mickey returned to the University of Texas to finish his college education, graduating from the U.T. Business School in 1949. During those years, Mickey became a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity were he made many close friendships, many of which he maintained throughout the remainder of his life. As a senior, he was elected Vice President of the U.T. student body, was honored as a U.T. Outstanding Student, and was very proud to have been selected to be a member of the Silver Spurs service organization which took great care of the iconic Longhorn mascot, Bevo.
Upon graduation from the University of Texas, Mickey moved to Beaumont, Texas and joined childhood friends from deep East Texas in starting an industrial supply company, which they named the Gulf Supply Company. After World War II was over, America needed a lot of new chemical plants and petroleum refineries ? and thankfully they all needed a lot of pipe and valves.
In 1952, while frequently visiting Augusta, Georgia to sell pipe and other industrial supplies for the construction of a huge new nuclear power plant just across the border in South Carolina, Mickey regularly attended the downtown Augusta Methodist Church and had the good fortune to meet a beautiful young Georgian named Doris Paul. A year later they were married and moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to open a new office there for Gulf Supply, and to start a family. Amanda, Mike and Mark soon followed. In the years that followed, the family moved frequently as Gulf Supply expanded rapidly, and especially enjoyed living in New Orleans for several years, and getting back to Texas living in Beaumont and then Houston. While in Beaumont, the Elliott family attended Trinity United Methodist Church, and in Houston enjoyed being active members of Chappelwood United Methodist Church.
Through grit, determination and incredible tenacity and work ethic, over the next thirty years the team of East Texas childhood friends built Gulf Supply (subsequently renamed Gulf Consolidated Services) into the industry leader in the industrial supply business.
The shared sense of mission, common goals and teamwork that Mickey so enjoyed over the years with Gulf Supply and then Gulf Consolidated resulted in many new, deep, lifelong friendships which meant the world to him. He was always so proud of the fine company that he helped to start and to lead, but it was the fine people and the great friendships there that were always what mattered the most to him. Again, Mickey and his partners were blessed to sell Gulf Consolidated Services to the Meade Paper Company just prior to the oil market crash and subsequent harsh economic recession of the 1980's.
Following the sale of Gulf Consolidates Services, Mickey and Doris moved to Austin to a lovely high-rise condominium that overlooked the U.T. Tower and South Mall, a beautiful view that Mickey enjoyed daily throughout the remainder of his life.
However, his retirement years were not easy. For nine years Mickey was devoted to taking loving care of his wife Doris as she struggled mightily with lung cancer. Through it all though, Mickey remained relentlessly positive and grateful to God for all that he and Doris had been blessed with. And he definitely was not through yet. He read the Wall Street Journal front to back everyday, and was deeply interested in current events, especially in business and political happenings. He always so looked forward to his monthly luncheons at the Tarry House in Austin with a very distinguished group of fellow U.S. military veterans who were all such fine gentlemen and great Americans. They were not always able to solve all of the problems in our world that were discussed, but it sure was not from lack of interest, knowledge and love of our great country.
Mickey also always looked forward to sitting in the second row of the sanctuary (an Elliott family tradition going back to his Hemphill childhood) at Tarrytown Methodist Church on Sunday mornings, following Sunday School with his Faith Class. All of the members of the Faith Class were so thoughtful and caring, and Mickey was always honored to be a part of such a fine group of folks.
Mickey was preceded in death by his parents, his loving wife of almost 60 years Doris, and his three sisters, Wynell, Martha and Arnette whom he dearly loved. He leaves behind his daughter Amanda, son Mike, son Mark and his wonderful wife Donna, and their three daughters, Nicole, Cecily and Gabrielle that he loved so much.
With grateful hearts, the Elliott family wishes to thank "the Great Ladies" Rae Brown, Linda McKinley and Terasa Felix for their devoted, loving care of our Dad over many years ? and also Bob Mitchell, Dad's personal trainer and great friend over the years who did so much to keep Dad vertical and moving, and able to enjoy an active life almost up to the very end.
We also wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all of the great team at Hospice Austin who so kindly and compassionately helped our Dad in his final days.
The immediate family, and our dearest friend Virginia Duke (whom we have officially adopted as a family member of Clan Elliott), and our Pastors from Tarrytown United Methodist Church will gather for a private internment at Austin Memorial Park Cemetery on Wednesday, August 26, 2020. Honorary pallbearers, all of whom preceded Mickey in the journey to eternal life in Heaven, include his lifetime, dearest of friends Rudy Williams, Paul Beauchamp, Bill Aufricht, Bob Duke, Harmon Parrot and Seldon Graham.
Due to the COVID, a larger celebration of Mickey's life at Tarrytown United Methodist Church in Austin will have to wait until it is again safe for us all to gather again. When that time comes, hopefully soon, there will be much to celebrate, many traditional Methodist hymns to sing, and of course lots of great southern cooking from the Methodist ladies.
Though our hearts are deeply saddened by the loss of our Dad, we are comforted in knowing that he is now reunited in Heaven with family and so many great friends, that he is now pain free and will enjoy a profoundly joyful eternal life in the greatest of all places. Ad we take great solace and comfort in the testimony of the Apostle Paul (2 Timothy 4:6-8):
"For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
We thank God for the gift of our Dad. And the great life that he was blessed to live.
Our family requests that in lieu of flowers, any remembrances or memorial contributions in honor of our Dad be directed to: Hospice Austin, 4107 Spicewood Springs Road, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78759, or to the J.R. Huffman Public Library, 375 Sabine Street, Hemphill, Texas 75948 ? or any good cause of your choice that makes the world a better place.
