Elbert worked as a plumber.
His appendix ruptured; his death a month later was due to peritonitis. He made medical history at that time (1929). He died at Robert Long Hospital in Indianapolis after a valiant fight to live. Dr. Sage was so impressed at how he fought that he brought his wife to Anderson to visit with Estella and EIb's two small children following his death.
He graduated from Pendleton High School in 1923; he was a very well liked young man in his community.
His sister Helen remembered how he would meet her at the end of her workday and escort her home. Stell remembered how this habit of seeing his sister safely home would cut short their dates in Anderson. Elb had no car and had to travel by interurban.
