In 1925 she married Ronald Inch and went to live with her husband's family. They shared a love of music and together provided entertainment for many a church or social gathering. The following recounts the courtship of Elsie and Ronald:<br /> <br /> "You see there was no high school in those days. And when he got through school, why, he lived on the farm and he was working. He played the violin, and a good singer too. They had a maple syrup place, you know, and it was a way down, pretty near to where I lived, about two miles from their place. So he'd be down there working, and lots of nights when we were grown up then pretty well you know, going to school. And when we'd be going home from school, why, a bunch of us would go down in the woods to the sap can and get some maple syrup and treats. And, good heavens, every once <!-SCT-->in a while he'd come over home and come up home meeting me or something because he couldn't go home at nights, because he had to keep the thing going most of the time. You see in Jerusalem, everybody went to everything.
