Bringing Up Father HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 4, 1915. 3 JUSTICE ELKIN DIES SUDDENLY "The Plowboy of Indiana County" Succumbs After Abdominal Operation i I Call 1991 Any Phone Founded 1871 A Three Dap Sale of (7 JUSTICE JOHN P. ELKIN Philadelphia, Oct. 4. Justice John Elkin, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, died at 10.40 o'clock last night in the Medico Chirurgical Hospital.

Death was caused by a disease of the liver, the exact nature of which has not been disclosed by the physicians in attendance. Justice Elkin had been in the hospital for more than two weeks, having been taken there on September 18, when an operation was performed without giving him relief. Up to a few minutes before his death the justice was conscious. The medical men declared a condition of the liver had arisen which they were absolutely powerless to help. From the time of the exploratory operation no new developments had taken place to aid them in saving the life of Justice Elkin.

Drs. Ernest LaPlace, James M. Anders and Lewis Brinton, the latter the personal physician of the Elkin family, held the final consultation and decided upon the hopelessness, of the case. Plowboy of Indiana The announcement of the death of Justice Elkin, or "The Plowboy of Indiana County," by which title he was best known throughout the State, came as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances, who had been given to understand that his condition was serious, but not critical. In fact, only a few days ago it had been said that he would leave the hospital shortly.

Accompanied by his wife. Justice Elkin came to Philadelphia about a month ago. He stopped at the Rltten house Hotel, where reports became current that he was seriously ill. This was denied and the jurist appeared in the lobby several times to prove that he was well. But Dr.

Brinton was at the hotel frequently and finally he held a conference with other medical experts that resulted in the judge being taken to the hospital. On September 18 an operation was performed. It was in the nature of an exploratory one and did not result in any satisfactory action. Justice Elkin was supposed to be improving. Wife at Bedside Throughout the days following Mrs.

Elkin remained at the bedside of her husband although herself unwell from the strain. She was joined in a few! days by her son and later by a mar 1 ried daughter. When the attending! physicians realized on just now serious was uie uonaition oi me patient, another daughter who was at tne nome in Indiana, was informed by telephone. Immediately she started her journey to this city finally arriving in Broad Street Station shortly after her father died. Ill For a Year Until a few days before he came to Philadelphia, Justice Elkin insisted on carrying out his official duties, although he had been unwell for almost a year and had been steadily losing weight.

He refused to surrender to the inroads of the ailment which slowly sapped away his vitality. Few of his friends realized that for some time he had kept up simply by sheer nerve. Justice Elkin is best known for the fight he made for the nomination for Governor of the State against former Governor Pennypacker. Despite the opposition of Senator Quay and other leaders of the Republican party, the "Plowboy from Indiana county" came close landing the nomination he sought. In fact, it was thought at first that he had won.

It was shortly afterwards, in 1904, that he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Justice Elkin was about 55 years old, having been born in Indiana county, where he has always resided. After having been graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan, in 1884, he was admitted to the bar of Indiana county. Previous to his law course young Elkin had taught in the country schools of the county. Almost as soon as he began the practice of law, at 24 years of age, he was nominated and elected to the State House of Representatives.

He served two terms, and from that time was prominent in State affairs in the Republican party. For four years.
