(Peggy Hawkinson, 1995)
Elmer was born at home, which was Butte Creek, Montana. The family moved to
Jordan, Montana in 1933, where he lived until 1946. In Jordan he worked for
the newspaper setting type and also delivered the newspaper. When he was old
enough to get a drivers license he and Harold helped drive truck for their
dad hauling everything from sheep to wheat. In 1946 his dad purchased a farm
in Cartersville, Montana. They raised sugar beets, hay, grain and cattle.
After graduating from Rosebud High School in 1948 he continued to work on the
farm until January of 1950 when he entered the U.S. Navy, spending three years
on the USS Valley Forge and USS Yorktown. After the service he went back to
farming for his dad, purchasing the home place in 1967. In 1952 he married
Peggy Ferguson. They have lived and farmed on the same land ever since. He
retired in 1995 but still has the cattle and lives on the farm. In 1975 we
purchased the Blue Spruce Cafe in Forsyth and later purchased the old Sawyer
building in Forsyth and remodeled it into the new Blue Spruce Cafe, which we
just sold in February of 1995. Elmer's interests and hobbies are his
grandkids, camping, fishing, gardening, and working in the shop.
