Funny enough I was doing a search regarding the elephant, don’t have much on the history of it but while it was alive my great grandfather was the trainer, unfortunately I’ve no history or pictures only what my father told me about how my great grandfather ran away from home to join the circus and ended being the trainer until the elephant died.

Apparently and I've just been told that this elephant was called Nelly and believe it or not my Great Grand worked in the circus as the elephant Keeper, I cannot remember the Elephant outside of the museum but I guess it was stuffed.
