He attended District 34/Langley High School through the 10th grade. He quit school to help his dad on the farm. On May 23, 1950, Eldon married Helen Wahl at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, rural Leigh, Nebraska. They farmed eight miles north of Columbus until 1968, when they moved to Columbus. While farming, Eldon also worked at Behlen Manufacturing for 33 years. After his retirement from Behlen Manufacturing, he drove cars for Columbus Motors and Phil Spady Auto.
