I enjoyed this article but hoped to see my grandfather’s accomplishments listed. His name was Robert W. Elder, and he patented a a part for oil production that may still be in use today. He was part of the oil production industry in the early part of the 20th century. I have many photographs and letters and of course, the patent.
