On the 20th day of February, in the year of 1850', a son was born to Benjamin ana Eliza Fort, in Henry county, Indiana, to be known as Stephen Elmer. Elmer was a cripple from infancy and was favored and humored by his more fortunate brothers and sisters. He spent most of his life in Henry and Hancock countie^.
On the 21st day of July, 1881, he was .united in marriage to Anna E. Barrett. One son was born to them, who, with the wife, one brother. Bruce D. Fort, of Knightstown, Ind., besides several nieces and nephews, survive him. His father, mother, two sister*, one brother, six half-brothers and one half-sister preceded him in death.
In November, before the cyclone wrecked the little village of Maxwell, in June, Elmer with his little family moved to Maxwell and launched forth in the livery business where he became well known in the community. He was a great lover of good horses and was considered a competent judge fcf same.
For the past few years he has failed physically and mentally, until it became necessary to remove him to the Central Hospital at Indianapolis in January. 1912, where he remained until May 29, 1914, when his spirit was released from the diseased body, and went to its reward in the Great Beyond, at the age of 64 years. 3 months and 9 days. Full soon the web of life is spun, The thread is snapped, the work is done. The weaver bears it from the loom, Where, in the sunlit, larger room, The Master sits, all tasks to scan, And judge the worKers, man by man. Fall joy 'twill be, if we but hear The Lord's "'Well done!" fall sweet and clear. (Advertisement)
