ELAM, Essex, colored [sic] male, died October 1889 in Chesterfield county Virginia of blindness [sic] at the age of 60. Parents were George W. and Mary ELAM. Born in Chesterfield county. Occupation laborer. Married to Louisa Elam, now deceased. Reported by Ned Elam, father [sic--could that mean "whose father he was"?] This is not my line, but I thought someone might be looking for a record.
