Eldon enlisted in the United States Army in 1952 at Fort Holabird, MD where he proudly served his country and was a top marksman on the Army Rifle Team. He was honorably discharged in 1955. Over the course of their marriage, Betty and Eldon moved several times. They lived in Gregory, SD where Eldon worked in insurance for Northwestern Bank until 1965.
