Elmer was born in Frinnesos (Frillesås?), Sweden on June 23, 1888. He and his brothers, Ivar and Alfred, came to Valhalla from the United States in 1916 and filed on a homestead at 25-74-10-W6. Elmer was drafted in 1918, but was arrested as a “Group 2 Defaulter” on October 25, 1918, the day he signed up. He left the area in 1922 or 1923 to work at the Ford Assembly Plant in Detroit and never returned.
