Rev. A. E. Elliott was born in Millbrook, Ontario on February 7, 1879. He graduated from Peterborough Collegiate Institute in 1895 and after teaching briefly in Ontario he graduated from the University of Toronto in 1905. In 1906 he moved to Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan to take position in a Methodist church, followed by appointments to the Rae Street Methodist Church in Regina from 1908 to 1911, a church in Grand Coulee from 1911 to 1915, and then the district of Drinkwater - Briercrest until 1919. In 1919 Elliott began farming near Dinsmore, but continued to preach at nearby Presbyterian churches.
