Kenn, I think your 1909 birthdate is more plausible than the D&B reported birth date of 1926 which would have meant Elard was 13 when he joined Star. Not impossible for a relative of CR Peterson in those days, but not likely. I know he passed away in 1996 and had spent some time in a nursing home prior to that.
Elsewhere it has been reported that Elard worked for Star for 57 years. That would line up fairly closely with a join date of 1939 depending of course on the length of time he spent in the nursing home.
