Notes:
Elisha lived in Round Top, where he was employed in a store, for the first six years of his marriage to Eugenia. They moved to his birthplace, his father’s plantation near Carmine, where he was a farmer for another six years. He moved his family to Lilac in Milam County where he farmed and ranched, as well as operated a cotton gin. In 1903 he moved the family to near Lake Victor in Burnet County. Here he bought a farm and ranch. He was engaged in this operation until the United States entered World War I. Since his four sons went off to the war, he was unable to continue in this line of work. He rented the land out, bought a hardware store in Lake Victor, and ran this business for several years. After the return of his son Walter, Walter and one of his brothers-in-law bought the business from Elisha. Elisha then returned to the farm near Lake Victor, where he and Eugenia lived for several more years, before being unable to continue farming. They sold their home to their son William and lived in an apartment with him.
