 Elgie’s father belonged to the Salem Lutheran Church, but after moving to the Kline farm, Elgie and Winnie attended the nearby Old Zion EUB church, probably because of its proximity. (This denomination, the Evangelical & United Brethren, is today part of the United Methodist Church). Elgie was at times superintendent of Sunday School, and a teacher at Old Zion. He also served as school superintendant at some point, either for the township as a whole, or possibly for the Old Home School that the children attended, located a couple miles from the farm.
