Road To Elmersville

About Me

Welcome to The Road To Elmersville Page

This page is dedicated to preserving the memory of James Elmer snr and celebrating the legacy of Elmersville

We are going to gather stories and pictures of the history of Elmersville and the Elmer family, if you have any contributions you would like to see here, please contact us and we will do our best to include it.

Its been nearly one year now since the death of James and his memory is still very strong in the lives of his family and everyone he touched. His story is so remarkable that thousands of miles away, in London, a band wrote a song in tribute to the wonderful man and father.

Road To Elmersville, you can probably hear it playing now, is a song about family and love, how it colours our lives and makes us who we are. The proceeds from the sales of this song are pledged to the Salvation Army, a charity that was close to James’ heart from when he served in WWII


We hope you enjoy reading these stories and looking at the pictures, please leave a comment and if you wish to buy the Elmersville CD just send me a message!Currently, there are also Elmersville CD’s on sale in the Sedona Heritage Museum gift shop. But if you’re not in that area, just send me a message if you’d like to purchase one.
