| Elliot Kidder Wemple b. 27 Apr. 1854 married. Harriet Maxon 17 Oct
1877 d. 11 Apr 1919 Born in western New York, in the little town of Busti near the shores of Lake Chautauqua, Elliott K. Wemple was fourth in a family of five children, the last to survive to maturity. The call of the west proved so strong for his older brother John that in March 1869 brother John travelled to Kansas and settled in the area of Centralia. After two years of school teaching he landed a job with the railroad as express agent at Wetmore Station, and in the winter of 1871/72 Elliott and his parents moved out. They bought 160 acres of land about 2-1/2 miles north of Centralia with about 25 head of steers. The following winter the parents, becoming homesick for Busti, moved back to New York. Elliott remained and obtained work as brakeman, later as baggage man on the railroad. John, in Oct 1872 returned to marry his childhood sweetheart, bringing her out west. Soon after returning to New York Elliott's father died, and after recovering from a broken hip, his mother returned to Sabetha, Kansas, making her home with brother John, until the fall of 1874 when she died. Two older sisters, Mary and Ellen, at some time moved to Kansas with their families, and in the fall of 1872 Ellen, wife of John Thornborrow, died, and is buried at Granada, Kansas according to a Busti Cemetery gravestone on the family plot. Granada was probably in the Wetmore area. Mary lived on until the spring of 1878. She was the wife of Jonathan Matthews, and at that time would have been near 40 years of age. She is buried in Centralia, Kansas. In 1875 John moved to Hastings, Nebraska with the St. Joseph and Denver City railroad. Elliott went with him, taking up residence in Hastings. John left railroading in 1879 to go into the lumber business with the Paine Lumber Co., with whom he remained for forty-eight years. Meanwhile, in 1877 Elliott met and married the girl he loved, Hattie Maxon, and some years later in the 1880's he went into the banking business, moving from Hastings to a branch at Doniphan, then to Hendley, and back once more to Hastings. Economic times proved too much for the the Hendley branch and it failed. According to daughter Flora the bank at Hendley was a venture which depended upon the railroad going through that town. When it did not, the branch failed. So, by 1891, with a major depression on, and work difficult to obtain, brother John who meanwhile had been called to Cleveland by the lumber company to a very responsible position, sent for Elliott and the family moved to Cleveland, where he was employed for a number of years with the lumber company. For several years the family lived in the St. Clair and Madison Ave. area through three or four moves, and in Feb. 1905 they moved to E. Cleveland at #78 Carlyon Road. After a few years in 1908 they built on Superior Road at Euclid Heights Boulevard. which the two unmarried children called home for some time. The older two girls meantime had married. Elliott was a quiet person of even disposition, who enjoyed working with plants and trees. He did some grafting of fruit trees on his property. His final illness was diagnosed as Bright's disease, and following an operation he died from a blood clot, which appeared to have resulted from poor judgment on the part of the attending physician. He was buried in Knollwood Cemetery in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. Elliott and Hattie had four children: Blanche Olga, Maud Ellen, Flora Edna and Ralph Earl. Flora was the only one who never married, caring for her elderly mother in her later years.

Her talents included writing lyrics and poems for Minden High School athletic banquets, retirements, family and friends.
