Arthur and Bertha Mary Elder had a child out of wedlock named Jack, born 9 May 1910 in Kansas City, KS. He was adopted by the name Jack Lockwood Lee. Arthur and his brothers were corn and wheat farmers, as was their father. Art ran a delivery business from about 1912 to 1914 in Woodston, KS. Bertha had studied millinery in Kansas City, and she had a millinery shop in Woodston from about 1914 to 1920. In 1927 Art was a janitor at the new high school in Woodston, until he came to California. Arthur brought his champion watermelon seeds from Kansas, and later had his picture in the Fresno Bee with a giant melon. In Fresno Bertha raised and sold flowers Arthur was a quiet man, but every Christmas Eve he dressed up as Santa Clause and all the grandkids rode on his back while he crawled on his hands and knees. He and Bertha last lived at 1924 W. Grant, Fresno.
