  Elijah was married 4 times.  He homesteaded 180 acres of land at
Rogers, AR, where he raised four families. After his death, his last
wife stayed on with her daughter [Hannah] and raised vegetables for
sale. After Nancy died, the daughter married Elbert Williams. Their
son Wateman Williams built a fine brick home and he and his wife lived
there. A Betty Armstrong lived on the property at the time of this
report. Elijah, his last 3 wives and children - Homer and Washie -
are buried in the Grimes Cemetery near Rogers, AR. Source-war
