Henrietta Elliot
née Greenawalt
|
|
|
|
|
Chambersburg,
Pa.
born 1834 Maryland
died March 9, 1872 Chambersburg, Pa.
Removed from Hanover, Pa., to Chambersburg with her
parents, Michael and Rachel
Greenawalt, in 1847. Henrietta's husband, Frank Elliot, originally
from Iba, Hesse (Germany), owned a clothing store on S. Second Street,
next door to that of Marks Fellheimer, another Jewish merchant tailor
in Chambersburg before and during the Civil War. Like his neighbor and
competitor, Elliot was a Democrat in politics, and for some time served
as Justice of the Peace. Around 1870 his clothing store relocated to
Front Street.
When Henrietta died, she left her husband with seven children, the
youngest three years old. A troubled father but an observant Jew, Frank
Elliot waited for more than a year before he remarried with Lena Ulman
of Baltimore, where the family had removed in the meantime.
