Frank Osborne Elftott ’34

OZ ELLIOTT, retired chairman of Elliott State Bank in Jacksonville, Ill., died Feb. 3, 1991, at his home in Tucson. Under his guidance, the bank, founded by his greatgrandfather in 1866, moved to the forefront in technological development. Oz was instrumental in the innovative "Downtown Progress" campaign in Jacksonville in 1960, designed to assist downtown merchants in their expansion and modernization efforts.

Oz's record of civic involvement in the community is said to be virtually unmatched. Much of the city's industrial landscape stands as a testament to his efforts over the past 40 years. In 1984 he was awarded an honorary degree from Illinois College, which he'd served as a trustee for 24 years.

Surviving are his widow, Jeannette Shambaugh Elliott, whom he married in 1975 and who donated her collection of Chinese calligraphy and painting to Princeton in 1980; a daughter, Edith Christina Sorum; a son, F. Jeffris; and three grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathy.
