Elvin was born February 23, 1915 on the family farm near Herman, Nebraska to Fred and Marie (Seelmeyer) Beerman. While growing up, he attended Bell Center rural school. He had lived on and been actively engaged in farming the home farm until 1976, but remained on the farm until moving into Fremont and Nye Square in 1996. Lately, he was residing in Shalimar Gardens.
He was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church (rural Hooper) where he had been baptized and confirmed. He had been a church usher and had served as a trustee. Elvin was the oldest member of the church. He also had served on the board of directors of what is now the Farmer's Mutual Insurance Co.
Elvin enjoyed playing cards, and in his earlier years he was an avid fisherman.
He was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Marie, an infant brother Clarence, and a sister Olinda Brandert.
