Edward Gayle MCELHINEY was born in 1877. He died in 1932 at the age of 55.

Children were: Edward Waldon MCELHINEY.

Edward Waldon MCELHINEY was born on 30 November 1905 in Loomis, Phelps Co., Nebraska, USA. He died on 26 May 1972 at the age of 66 in Reno, Washoe Co., Nevada, USA. He was buried in Mountain View Cmtry., Reno, Washoe Co., Nevada, USA. Edward worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad in Truckee, Nevada Co., California and from April through November they lived in a side railed boxcar. It was too cold to cook outside and his new wife tried to cook a chicken dinner in their makeshift living quarters. Edward Waldon McElhiney laughed at her. The romance of living in a boxcar in the middle of winter is one thing to endure, being laughed at is another. Sometimes it’s the small things that finally make a woman take flight. Eight months pregnant, she left her husband and moved back home to her mother’s where she gave birth to her firstborn, naming him after her older brother and after St. Joseph: Roy Joseph McElhiney. They called him Buster. Then word came to Chico that McElhiney was killed in a train coupling accident a short time after she’d left him, but he hadn't died.

Ruth Hillis, a granddaughter of Agnes, told me that she was acting strangely and that her children took her to Memphis where one of them lived and put her in a mental hospital. Chatfield Sanders told me that he remembered his family going to see her there. I found a death certificate for her under Mrs. Joseph Chatfield. The only information that it had was that she died of a seizure.
