Elaine Albertson married Arnold H. Green on 29 Oct 1947 in Moorhead, MN. They lived on the Anton Green farm west of Maddock from 1947 to 1956 which had been homesteaded by Arnold's grandfather. In 1956 they moved with their children to Colorado Springs, CO where Arnold bought a business.

Elaine's first job as a teenager was hauling hay with a team of horses for a neighbor for 25 cents an hour.
