Elmo wanted to work with the electric company but his dad told him "no, it's too dangerous". He was extremely smart with math of all kinds and had a quick mind. He was very mechanical and kept his cars in tiptop shape.
After his dad died he and many close relatives and their families decided to homestead in CO. His mother, sister, brother, and the many relatives moved there at the same time and took land next to each other. The one big drawback Grandma told me was they were all "city people" and didn't really know that much about ranching and farming.
E.T. Long homesteaded from 1915-1921, Sligo Precinct #60, Weld Co., CO, and worked as a fireman on UP Railroad, from Sheridan, CO to Cheyenne, WY.
