Elliott Meat began operations in 1893 when Hiram Riddle Elliott (died 1938) and Warren Mendenhall bought out the packing company of J. B. Sutphin and G. F. Swift. They renamed the firm and handled a full line of beef, pork, lamb, veal, processed ham and bacon. For 91 years thousands of people drew paychecks at Elliott's. Owner Dudley Smith closed the plant July 27, 1984, putting 100 people out of work.
