final chapter of the great depression. Elbert’s early life in a small rural community in
southern Indiana near Madison was influenced by his parents who clung to the “old”
ways of living. Many of Elbert’s interesting experiences and encounters were with folks
whom some may describe as “common”, but who proved to be real salt-of-the-earth
folks.
Living without the conveniences of electricity, indoor plumbing or telephone made
Elbert’s growing up years quite interesting and endearing in many ways. We can never
go back to those days, but he certainly talks about them in this book, bringing alive an
era long gone except for the memories. He tells stories about both the good times and
some not so good. Part of this book contains Elbert’s poems, which help capture the
flavor of times past.
Elbert is a staunch believer in patriotism and love for this great country. His father
fought in World War I as did two brothers in World War II. He saw first
hand some of the after effects that war had on their lives and their reluctance for many
years to talk about their wartime experiences.
Elbert is retired. He and his wife Stella reside in Indianapolis. They enjoy doting on
their two children and four grandchildren.view less
