Elbert was born in Orderville, UT, on June 1, 1917, to Francis Alvin and Martha Heaton Porter. He loved Orderville and Southern Utah, and already showed exceptional artist's talents at a young age.

He also did sculpture work for the LDS Church including works of the Angel Moroni and Joseph Smith for the the New York World's Fair in 1964. Dad loved being a father and he was a loving and caring father. He and mom had five children. He has been a faithful member of the LDS Church and faithfully held many positions.
