ERIC ELG FAMILY

Erich Elg purchased the farm on 83rd street, between Plainfield-Naperville Roads and Book Road in 1938. Although the Elgs did not live on the farm, they had several tenants. The first was the Harvey Lamb family, then the Edward Suchers and finally George Bannister.

The Elg’s only daughter, Margaret, married George Shannon, and they have three children. Mararet says: “The farm was our family’s pride and joy. We have many fond memories of beautiful days spent on 83rd Street”. The Shannons currently reside in Clarendon Hills, Illinois.
