My brother, Edson Gemmer was one of the form carpenters who worked on the original construction of the Odessa grain elevator. Previously, he also worked on the two new grain elevators that were built in Odessa. This was in the fall of 1949. More was added on to the elevator in 1955. (see the photo)
