Despite it’s small size, Elbing does have a Christian school, K-12: Berean Academy.

It’s a nice campus with newish buildings.

Elbing seemed like a social little town. I saw most of the population, I think, during my quick drive through of the town on Saturday morning. It was 65 degrees out, so the people were out. An older couple waved from their porch as I drove by, others were walking their dog, a man was reading his mail while he was walking home from the post office.

  1. My grandfather was born in Elbing.

    Looked through Berean’s website and the Principal, SH/JH Librarian, and one of the school board members are Unruh’s. Kinfolk, maybe?

  2. The post office looks exactly–to me, anyway–as the one in Woodbine. Interesting that there is a “dish” on it…..must have to keep up with mail channels?

  3. ksgirl: yeah, we Unruhs are all probably 3rd, 4th, 5th cousins, maybe 9 times removed, but we’re likely related somehow.

    ele: when I saw that P.O., I did think of Woodbine.

  4. You are amazing, Cheryl! NOW, if “Elbing” just had a few more letters-like “e & rown” it would be MY town! (named after me!)
