    HISTORY OF ALABAMA AND HER PEOPLE, The American Historical Society Inc., Chicago & New York, 1927. Vol II p129

    Eli was Confederate soldier serving with Hoods' Texas troops in Texas and VA. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga while holding his gun in front of breast reloading, and a ball from enemy's gun struck his weapon, deflecting the bullet so that his leg was struck instead of his body. Later he was captured and held a prisoner. Following the war he was very successfully engaged in farming and he died in 1908, when he was 73 years old. His wife passed away in 1899, when she was 44 years old.

    In addition to his farming interests Eli Yow operated a cotton gin and grist mill about 2 miles south of Pine Hill and a cotton gin, grist mill and saw mill in partnership with O. P. Kelly at Pine Hill, and he was one of a Committee to select a name for the town that is now called Pine Hill. A well educated man he kept himself posted on current events. Always a liberal supporter of schools and churches, and he united with the Baptist Church when he was 64 years of age. His partner, Mr. Kelly, gave a large portion of the lumber that went into the church and school buildings at Pine Hill.

    Eli Yow was twice married, first to Adelia Pruitt who died in about 2 years leaving an infant girl whom they named Lula Adelia and who married N. M. Baggett and now lives in Mobile, Alabama. His second wife was Elizabeth Crisswell and to this union was born 9 children: 5 survive, namely: Jennie, wife of Dr. J. Lee Woodcock of Phil. PA; Hassie, wife of John A. Hussey of Toledo, Ohio; Ausie Esten; Ella L., wife of E. H. Cowart of Evergreen, AL; and Clara L., wife of Dr. C. M. Pearce of Calumet, OK. 2 sons Eli B. and Grover C. both of whom died at 21 years of age. Minerva died at 7 years and Robert died in infancy.
