The untimely death of Elvis Aaron Presley shocked the county. He had spent time riding horses at his ranch on Goodman Road and made friends as he toured over the county on his motorcycle.

Friends remembered the pony he gave their little girl, the day he stopped at their farm to buy ducks from their yard, or shopping at the sporting goods store when he came in to make a purchase.
