"Dr. Adolphus F. Elliott was born at Corinna, Maine, in 1836. He was an early settler in Minneapolis, coming here one year after his brother Wyman, the well-known horticulturist, viz.: in 1855. After a long and lucrative medical practice he went to California in poor health. Returning, however, without regaining his health, he died in Minneapolis April 26th, 1901. He willed his property to the University of Minnesota, and this bequest was carried out by his widow. The Elliott Memorial Hospital, of the University of Minnesota, is the product of this fund. (In the Civil War Dr. Elliott served in the 3rd Minne- sota regiment.

"ELLIOTT, Adolphuis F. and Mary Ellen Hoar Elliott? Dr. Elliott left his estate to his wife, and she left property which netted the sum of $114,000, to Walter J. Trask, formerly of Minneapolis, but later of Los Angeles, Calif., an attorney, to be used to secure the erection of a building upon the University campus, as a memorial to her husband. Dr. Elliott. Mr. Trask, naturally decided that no other niemorial could be so fitting to a physician as a hospital and so made a tender of the property to the board of regents of the University, for that purpose. The regents were willing to accept but felt that tney should not bind the state to support such an institution, as they would virtually by accepting the gift outright, and so p.sked to be allowed to hold the same in abeyance until the legislature could be consulted. This the trustee, Mr. Trask, very readily agreed to and the legislature also authorized the acceptance of the gift. Dr. Elliott was formerly a practicing physician in Minneapolis and his wife, was formerly Miss Mary Ellen Hoar, a daughter, of Michael Hoar, employed on the Sibley estate at Weston, fifty years ago. On, her mother's death she was cared for by Mrs. Richard Holbrook and assumed the name Holbropk. She and Dr. Elliott were married about 1895. Prior to her death, Mrs. Elliott gave the school of mines' $5,000, the income of which is to be used to assist students needing financial aid to finish their courses in that school."
