Claud Elliott, age 19 married Lela M. Taylor, age 18 both of Oak Grove, Jackson County, Missouri on December 1, 1909, Jackson County, MO.
Jackson County, Missouri marriage certificate #1909I0007280.
Claud was affectionately known as "Poops" by family and "Big Boy" by his peers, a nod to his big and tall physique.
He made a living and supported his family by buying, selling and raising livestock and by breaking horses to saddle, bridle and plow.
He could often be found sitting with his cronies outside the drug store on Main Street in Grain Valley. All the grandkids knew he was good for a nickel, enough money at that time to purchase an ice cream cone inside the drug store. His signature apparel was bib overalls to which he often added a straw hat.
Claud had a compassionate nature and, especially during the Great Depression, always would share whatever food and nourishment he had with anyone coming to his door for help telling Lela, his wife, to "get a biscuit and some meat" to ease the traveler's hunger.
