Elvin was 83 years of age having been born on July 14, 1926, in Ansley, Nebraska to Merle and Mary (Hyatt) Moody. Elvin grew up in the Arcadia, Nebraska area. He received his education at country schools and graduated from Arcadia, Nebraska High School in 1944.

He was united in marriage to Elinor Wibbels on February 27, 1947, at the Liberty Christian Church in Ansley, Nebraska. The couple recently celebrated their 63rd Wedding Anniversary. They lived and farmed for several years in the Clear Creek area near Ansley, Nebraska.
