"SAMUEL CLARENCE ELKINS, 2nd child of Franklin Asbury and Clara Mae Tyler Elkins. Samuel C. Elkins, was born in Judson, Indiana, Washington Township in Parke County, Indiana. He remembered going by wagon with his family to visit his grandfather, William Elkins, who was a big man and having huge hands. He was only nine years old when his grandfather passed away so it probably would have seemed so to him. He told as a young man having rode the rails and worked on the railroad out to the West and back. He met his wife to be (Gladys Farner) at a church in Bloomingdale, Indiana. They courted by wagon and were married two years later in Fountain County. He was a farmer most of his life and they lived in Fountain County when first married and their first child of fourteen children was born there. The rest were born in Parke County, Indiana where Samuel and Gladys spent the rest of their lives."
