  Notes	from file of Marlin Beulow Eldor started working by helping his father when he was working for Buckstaff Company making caskets. All the boys took a turn handing their father nails. This helped to speed up the process of finishing the caskets and also taught the boys a proper work ethic. By the time Eldor got married his father was a general contractor and so he learned a bit about the carpenter trade but this trade was not for Eldor. In 1932 he started driving a cab for Oshkosh Cab Company. That year was the beginning of "The Great Depression." Two very good friends got the money together to buy two cabs. Eldor and his two friends kept the cabs going 24-hours a day. Cab fare was 15 cents, anywhere in the city. The drivers kept 40% of the fare as their wages. Unfortunately, some days they didn't make much money. While driving the cab, he also held down a job driving a bus from Oshkosh to Omro, to Green Lake, Berlin, Ripon and Fond du Lac and return, twice a day. On this job he was known as "The Singing Bus Driver" because he would get the people singing and everyone liked that. He drove the bus until the run was discontinued in 1966. At that time he went to work, as a salesman, for the Wisconsin Liquor Company and later for Gateway Liquor Company of Fond du Lac. He was working there when he had his first heart attack in November, 1970. He was scheduled to go back to work 1 July 1971 but had a fatal heart attack on 22 May, 1971. Eldor was also a member of the "Gallon Club," giving more than three gallons of blood during the war.
