Vera Fisher Elliot




Vera was Della's sister.


She married Virgil Elliott and they operated a grocery store in Fairfield, the county seat of Wayne County, for many years. (Remember that the Fisher homestead, near Golden Gate and Ellery, is actually in Wayne County rather than in Edwards County.) After they closed the store, she worked as a dispatcher and secretary for the county sheriff.


She had three sons, Bob, Vernon, and Ray. I met Ray during my recent trip to Albion. He still lives in the area. I have been emailing Bob, who retired in Virginia.


Vera died at the age of 73, probably of a stroke.

Ray sent me this photo in 2021. Beautiful!
