Description: Tall broad shoulders. Height 6 ft 2 in. Skinny and rawboned. Very black hair. Black eyes. Sober person. Mothers coloring and his fathers looks. Raised in North Carolina until after Civil War. He was in his teens when they moved to Florida and then to Cochran, Georgia and finially to home his father bought. He didn't like school. His father wanted him to to get more education. He wanted to work. He said, "His freedom as a farmer was more to him than wages was." He was a very good farmer. Very strict and would let them wear anything but somber plain clothes. The boys could never wear shirts unbuttoned and if tore something. They had to go and get patched right then. Hired school teachers in home until they had free school. Dad (Sam Hood) was around 15 years old when they had school. But his father kept him home to work while older children went and then they all left and he didn't get much schooling. But he (Elijah) taught his children to shoot well, because so many animals wild and tame went "mad". They had to carry a gun everywhere, even in the field to work for protection against this menace. He accepted the Elders in his home. There were mostly Christian Science, Baptist and some Methodist. They build a public school at Rawley, Ga. (1/2 mile from where they lived)., then when Elders came they'd hold church one Sunday and then on the other Sunday Christian Science held church. Elijah didn't join church for 5 or 6 years after elders came. He was a hard shell (or primitive) baptist. He liked to fish a lot, but not hunting. In the summertime when crops were laid by they would take several wagons and men and fish and camp several weeks at a time. Okmilgee river, Logpan Lake, and the mouth of Limestone creek. The family big celebration was 4th of July. The community would go seining for fish and have big fish frys. We workout for our spending money and dress clothes. Each Monday morning he laid out certain amount of work for each child to do during the whole week. If they worked hard and long and got it done by Wednesday they could go out and work for spending money. They'd help at odd things around the community. He was very strict about who his girls went with and how they acted. He never had a buggy for his family and never let his children use any animals on Sunday. He said it was against the Lords will to use the animals on Sunday for pleasure or anything. He was well read in Bible. Could quote much scripture. He was a great reader and took lots of magazines, Agricultural Magazine, Story Magazine (written in Maine (?), Improvement Era, LDS Elders Journal, called Liahona. They were good readers. He was well educated. Could have gone on further but didn't want to. Could read and write a good hand.

C. Sons of E. L. Hood (Great uncle of Sam Hood) used to go to Paris for fashions.
