From my late mother, Betty Shirley's Bartholomew Book of 1978:
Elias was born February 17, 1848, in Strasburgh, Pennsylvania. He and his family moved to Licking County, Ohio in 1854. In 1865, they moved to Farmington, Illinois, Elias went west to homestead. The grasshoppers wiped him out, and he returned to Louisville, Kansas.
Elias worked as a clerk in a hardware store, as a miller and a tinsman with his own shop. It burned down.
Elias had a green thumb when it came to gardening. He was also good at keeping records in his journal.
In 1850 Census, Elias was 2 years old living with his parents in Strasburg, Lancastr Co., PA
In 1870 Census, Elias was 22 years old, living in the home of Charles C. Foote as a laborer in their flouring mill.
In 1880 Elias was 32 years old, a hardware clerk and living as a border in the Benton home in Louisville, Pottawatomie Co., KS
August 28, 1881, Elias married Bessie B. Bain in Louisville, Pottawatomie Co., KS
1900 Census:Louisville,Pottawatomie Co., KS Mother-in-Law Alayan Bain lived with the family.
1910 Census: Louisville,Pottawatomie Co., KS
Notes: Brian's oldest son was killed in a motorcycle accident and until I get cooperation from the memorial mangers to link or transfer Theron and get Brian's status clarified, I'm gonna put his link here for now. We wanna keep this young man connected with our family. Bruce Wayne Bartholomew
This baby is listed in the records as a child of Elias and Elizabeth Bartholomew. Unable to confirm or deny put here for future reference.
