Erick and Lulu Elsner at Knox Berry Farm.
This is a picture of my great grandparents, Erick and Lulu Elsner. Erick was born Oct. 13, 1896 in Chicago, Illinois and died April 20, 1975 in Los Angeles, California. His parents, Albert and Lydia, and his eldest brother, Fred, immigrated from Germany in 1887. He grew up on a farm in Minnesota with three siblings, Fred, Elizabeth, and Otto. He married Lulu Robideau in 1917 and they moved to Minneapolis where they had a son, Darrell (my grandfather) in 1920. At some point, they moved to Arizona. Grandma Lulu told me that they moved away from Minnesota because she had bad allergies and the doctor told them to move to a drier climate. Eventually they would move again and settle in Los Angeles, California.
