Biography

Greta Elberta Paris "Elberta" was the third of seven children of William Milbourn, Sr. and Otie Thornton Milbourn.

Elberta and her husband Harold Eugene Paris had eight children from 1929 to 1942.

Holidays were always fun with Elberta and Harold and their very large family; warm, gentle woman who could cook up a meal in a jiffy. I remember her making the 1-2-3-4 ingredient cake for our Sunday supper.
