John S. Elliott, largest man in Maryland. Signed on verso. The following from his death notice: “Death of the Largest Man in Maryland. John S. Elliott died at his residence in Queen Anne’s county, Md., on Sunday, of pneumonia, aged fifty-nine years. He was the largest man ever raised in Maryland, and perhaps in the United States. A few years ago, while exhibiting, he weighed nearly five hundred pounds; of late he had fallen off, and his weight was reduced to less than four hundred pounds. In height he was five feet ten inches, and two feet across from shoulder to shoulder. He generally enjoyed good health, but the disease from which he died carried him off after a few days’ illness. He was a native of Queen Anne’s county, but was well known in the adjacent counties.”
