Hermit Elliott 90 Years On Missouri Farm
In Macon Missouri Aunt Betsy Elliott lived ninety years on a backcountry Missouri farm near Jacksonville with her brothers Perry and Jordan. They never rode a railroad or visited a city larger than Moberly or Macon, shunned luxuries, and kept to pioneer methods. They farmed about 2000 acres, valued coal beds beneath, and fenced with rail that has mostly disappeared. Their simple rule was to stay active, avoid doctors, get air, raise poultry, and sleep early.
