Elmer Nokes was born on the family homestead, in Teagarden, OK, 20 miles west of Alva, OK, June 10, 1930 and passed away April 10, 2022. Many of his friends and family called him by his nickname, "Mickey". He was the youngest child of eight children, six girls and two boys. Elmer attended Pleasant Ridge School, later attending N.W.O.S.U. in Alva. He farmed and ranch for over 50 years, where he raised wheat, hay, cattle, and custom harvesting.
In 1953, Elmer married Glennis Beltz, and they made their home on a farm northwest of Cherokee. He worked on the farm for about three years, and later leased the farm until June of 2000. Elmer and Glennis shared three children, and three grandchildren before her passing in 1994.
In 1995, he met Gladys Geis at a reunion near Cherokee, OK. Only God could have put this union together, and soon after they married in Branson, MO. Together they blended a family of five children, and their spouses, and nine grandchildren. Elmer and Gladys shared together in worship at First Baptist Church in Cherokee. Gladys joined up with her cousin, Margret, and together they started "Uncommon Comedy", which kept them on the road with their husbands in tow, as they entertained audiences all over. In March of 2006, they settled into their home at Golden Oaks Village and joined Grace Mennonite Church.
