Robert Elliot's Death Record

I have tracked down a death record for our ancestor Robert Elliot, first of our Elliot ancestors (along with his wife Ann Bland) to come to Canada.  He died on February 5, 1854 at the respectable age of 82. 

Toronto Globe, February 9, 1854, p.3:
"On Sunday the 5th inst., at the residence of his son Mr. Wm. Elliot, Jarvis Street Toronto, Mr. Robert Elliot, age 82, formerly of Hammersmith, in the county of Middlesex, England." 

He is buried in the Necropolis Cemetery, Toronto, plot O 227, on a plot belonging to his son John Elliot. The cause of death is listed as "natural decay".  

John and his wife are also buried in the same cemetery. 





"In Memory of Robert D. Elliot ob 20 March 1844 Aged 18 Yrs 7 Mo.
"it is sown in weakness, 
it is raised in power"
In Memory of John  Elliot / Born in England 1796 / Died in Toronto Dec 12th 1883.
