My grandmother is Henrietta(Redenius)Elsing she was born in 1919 and lives in Rushmore, MN. She married Willie Elsing.We have several pictures of the generations. I too have a newspaper article talking about Harrys death in long beach. It states President Nixon congratulated him on his 104th birthday, and that he "missed the boat" trying to get on the Titanic. My grandma talks of him trading horses and going over seas to deal horse trades. Really neat stories. I'm fascinated that Harry retired at 50, and then lived another 54 years!
