FREDERICK ELLISTON.  One of the best and most worthy young men who have
ever grown up in Williamstown if Frederick Elliston, the oldest and only
living child of O. P. Elliston and Mary (Bracht) Elliston.  He was born
in Williamstown January 16, 1894, and has past his seventeenth year a
little ways.  We have no doubt that he is the youngest assistant cashier
and bookkeeper in the state, and possibly the United States.  He, too, is
a product of the Williamstown Graded Free School, receiving all of his
education at that institution of learning and graduating in May of 1899,
and delivering the salutatory to his class.
     Later he was appointed by Congressman A. S. Berry as alternate to
West Point to succeed C. B. Clark, resigned.  Without any special
preparation he successfully passed his examination, both mental and
physical, with great credit to himself.  He is at present president of
the Alumni Association of the Graded School.  When there recently became
a vacancy in the assistant cashier's place at the Bank of Williamstown
he was given the place unanimously, and is filling it to the satisfaction
of all.  Fred is worthy of all the good things in life that have come to
him, and we have no doubt that many more are in store for him in the
days that are to come.
