The El Reno Tribune -- July 29, 2009
Elton was the youngest of 10 children and was also known as Lee. Elton was born in Rush Springs. Later he and his family moved to El Reno. He joined the Marines when he was 20. He moved to Tampa, Fla., in 1974, where he met Virginia. They married in 1975 and moved to Mesquite, Texas, where they adopted another daughter. He retired from Dana Corp. and they started RVing. They joined a band where he sang and played his guitar. They retired in Newcastle so that they could be close to Susan, their daughter.
