Captain Elam as he was generally known was a familiar figure at almost every G. A. R. reunion and county, district, and state political convention, being chosen almost 'invariably as a delegate to such a meeting, and was well known In Hammond and Lake County, where he had frequently visited, on such occasions as one of the shrewdest

politicians as well as one of the most likeable gentlemen in the state, his sudden death casting a decided gloom upon his many friends throughout the state. He was famous also as a story teller and after dinner speaker, no event of local importance being quite complete without his presence.

Mr. Elam was born on the old Elam

homestead in Fulton County, Indiana,

Miss Freelove White of Valparaiso who with two sons and two daughters now survive him. In 1867 he was appointed postal clerk by James M. Tanner, postmaster general and served in that capacity eleven years. In 1886 he as elected auditor of Porter County and was re'-elected to the same office In 1890. He was deputy revenue colector for this district for four years, resigning to accept the postmasterhslp at Valparaiso in 1906 and was filling the second term of appointment, at the time of his death. All who knew him agreed that he was a faithful soldier, an honest and efficient public officer, a loyal friend and a kind father and his kindly Interest in public affairs will long be missed.
