Ambrose E. Elliott, proprietor of the Independence Wholesale Candy Company, 211 West Lexington Street, Independence, Missouri, was born in Nelson County, Kentucky, December 2, 1867. He is a son of Benjamin F. and Martha (Curry) Elliott, both of whom are natives of Kentucky.
After attending the public schools in Kansas and Missouri, Ambrose E. Elliott was employed in a grocery store at Stanley, Indian Territory, and later engaged in the lumber business at Joplin, Missouri. He came to Independence in 1900 and started a lumber yard in 1901 on Lexington street. He conducted this business until 1906 when he sold out and purchased an interest in a planing mill in partnership with C. G. Stewart and the firm was afterwards known as Stewart and Elliott Planing Mill Company. After Stewart sold his interest the firm was known as the Independence Planing Mill Company, Mr. Elliott retaining his interest until 1910, at which time the plant was destroyed by fire, but afterwards rebuilt. Shortly after the fire, Mr. Elliott disposed of his planing mill interests and engaged in the real estate business in 1911. He traded his planing mill interest for a moving picture show in Kansas City, located at 1123 Grand avenue and operated this for about three years. He then sold the theatre and purchased another at 107 East Twelfth street which he operated until November 1, 1918. He then sold this theatre and bought the Independence Wholesale Candy Company.
The Independence Wholesale Candy Company was established in 1901 by M. S. White who began business with a one horse wagon, manufactured candy and sold his output on the city streets. As he sold candy, he put the proceeds into more candy and gradually enlarged the business until it embraced jobbing. Mr. Elliott purchased the business in April, 1919.
Mr. Elliott was married in 1895 to Rose J. Bierly of Seligman, Missouri, who has borne him six children: William Rusell Elliott, associated with his father in the business; Gladys, Oneda, Paul, Everett and Wilma. The Elliott family residence is situated at 618 S. Crysler street, Independence, Missouri. Mr. Elliott was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose and was a Shriner and a 32nd degree Mason.

DATABASE SOURCE INFORMATION AS FOLLOWS:
Source Information:
Edmund West, comp. Family Data Collection - [database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000.
A unique database containing 5 million genealogical records (20 million names) that were saved from destruction after being rejected from scientific studies. The Family Data Collection records were created while gathering genealogical data for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compiling data for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. The records collected that did not fit a specific study became the project's "by-products" and were schedule to be discarded. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool and despite the absence of cited documentation, the electronic rights to the data were purchased, rather than see it destroyed.
Extended Description:
Thousands of families are known to be present in the database, containing 20 million names in 5 million records. This data covers the entire U.S. for a wide expanse of years. At a minimum, each record contains an individual's name, date and place of birth, and the name of his or her father. A complete record will contain the following information for an individual: Name, Date and Place of Birth, Date and Place Married, Date and Place of Death, Name of Spouse, Name of Father, Name of Mother, Use this database as a finding tool, just as you would any other secondary source. When you find the name of an ancestor listed, confirm the facts in original sources, such as birth, marriage, and death records, church records, census enumerations, and probate records for the place where the even took place.
