Elliott Scheduled For Surgery
Monday, August 29, 2016


Well known farrier, James Elliott is scheduled for surgery either today or tomorrow at Vanderbilt to repair an infection in his leg from a bone graph. Elliott will be in the hospital for a few days for doctors to observe. Last year, around Thanksgiving, Elliott fell out of his deer stand and broke his leg. Since that time he has developed infection in the same leg two different times. 

Please keep the Elliott family in your prayers during this difficult time. To send cards of well wishes, mail them to: 12500 Frankfort Road Tuscumbia, AL 35674.
