      Death: Oct. 16, 1906
      Weir (Williamson County)

      Age 85 Yrs, 8 mos, 1 day

      Gone home to live with Jesus,
      Where there are no more sad farewells.

      From "Sketches from Williamson County, Texas: Its History and Its People"
      Compiled and Edited by Mrs. Jean Shroyer, History Book Chairman, and Mrs. H Hazel Hood, President of WCGS, published in 1985, p.243:
      "THE QUEEN FAMILY" by Dewey Don Queen:
      Elias Butler Queen was born 5 Feb 1821 in North Carolina. He married Edna PETTY in Aa Arkansas about 1841. They had one son, Samuel. Edna died between 1843 and 1846. Then in 1847, Elias married Martha Jane BARBER.Their first child, James S. was born in Missouri. The other eleven were born in Texas. They were: Texana, William L., John, Elias Butler, Arizona, David, Fanny L., Joseph Anderson, Robert Lee, Matie, and Mabel D. Elias acquired the land between Weir and Jonah that is still called "Queen Hill." Sometime after the 1850 Census, he brought Martha, Samuel,
      James and Texana to their new home from Caldwell County, TX Elias and Martha's son, Robert Lee, grew up to become a Texas Ranger and Sheriff while some of his cousins were on the opposite side of the law. Samuel "Kep" Queen, Elias' nephew, and John Toliver Bar Barber, Martha's nephew, were two who rode the outlaw trail. Kep was shot and killed when he was trapped by a posse near Claremore, OK in Nov., 1888. John died in Dec. 1889. On the 1900 Census, Elias stated as his occupation as CAPITALIST. But most of his life was spent as a horse rancher. He passed away at his home 16 Oct 1906 and is buried at the Queen Hill Family Cemetery. Martha died 22 March 1910. She was laid to rest next to her husband.

      PAGE 244, THE QUEEN FAMILY OF QUEEN HILL, by John Lee and Katy McMillen:
      Elias' mother was Mary Butler (born ca 1789, NC, to Elias and Elizabeth Butler). Her other chi children were: Mrs. John Dawson (Tempe); Mrs Aaron Franklin Shaw (Bettie); Mrs. Laura Garner; Mrs. John Ringer (Huldah)(sic);birth date also shown as 2/5/1821 - Montgomery Co., NC

      Elias and Samuel Queen married sisters Edna and Jane Petty.

      It is reported that Edna died at the birth of her first child and that it died also. Elias Queen afterward remarried and raised a large family, some of whom have been in contact in latter years. Elias lived in New Mexico and it is said that there is some sort of public monument erected to his honor in that state.

      The family moved from Montgomery CO, NC to Carroll Co, TN to Carroll CO, AR to Milam CO, TX in 1847. Elias and his father were part of the petition to form Williamson CO, TX in 1848.

      "We are sad to report the death of one of our respected and venerable gentlemen, Mr. Elias Queen, who had so many years bravely faced the battles of life and from the standpoint of time had almost proven himself invulnerably, but in accordance with the established vale of the universe the ravages of time brought death and decay upon the earthly temple of this worthy citizen. He succumbed to the inevitable at 11 A.M., October 16, 1906, thus ending a useful career of 87 years. Mr. Lee Queen, sheriff of Hartley County, (Texas) and two brothers arrived in time to attend the funeral and burial of their father." Source: Williamson Co. Sun, Georgetown, Williamson Co., TX Thursday October 25, 1906. Obit is in the University of Texas American History Center.

      {Elias Butler Queen was buried at Queen Hill in the family cemetery. He was survived by his wife, Martha Jane, and sons, Elias Butler, Jr., David Walton, Joe Anderson, and Robert Lee. . Apparently all of the daughters had passed away by this time. Mary Queen Boren having died in Roby, Texas in 1902.} notes of Katie McMillen. Also, not listed in the list of son's is James S. Queen, the second child for Elias Queen, Sr. Dixie McCutchan

      Elias and Samuel Queen married sisters Edna and Jane Petty.
