Raymond Elrod Christy (b. 1913 - d. 1969) was born on September 18, 1913, in Warren Indiana, to Cora Belle Spencer (b. 1887 - d. 1963) and James Francis Christy (b. 1890 - d. 1966), who worked as an insurance salesman. By 1920, they had moved to Camp Verde, Arizona where his sister, Marianna, was born in 1924. By 1930 the family had moved to Prescott where they lived at 437 South Montezuma Street, the same location as the Christy’s Food Market that "Elrod’s" father owned for four decades. On Valentine’s Day 1940, Elrod married Mary Lou Schiel. In 1942, he joined the Navy and served on the U.S.S. Chaumont. His second marriage was to Thelma Elizabeth Hadlock in 1948, and his third marriage was to Dorothy Jean Nelson in 1954. In 1963, his mother was one of seven people to die in a bus accident in California. Three years after her death, Elrod’s father took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot in his home at 511 South Granite Street in Prescott. Raymond Elrod Christy died on November 25, 1969, in California at the age of 56, and was buried in San Bernardino, California.
