Elsa Besch (b. 1891) worked as a stenographer and secretary for the Motor Wheel Corporation, retiring after 50 years of service in 1959. She also volunteered several thousand hours with the Red Cross Gray Ladies Ingham County chapter during and after World War II.

At the end of her career she was working as an organist for the Estes-Leadley Funeral Home, in the 1970s. Their parents were Emil (a pattern maker) and Anna, and there was another daughter, Pauline "Polly" who married Henry Dietz. Elsa and Clara did not marry, and shared a home for most of their lives. Elsa, sometimes referred to as Elsie, passed away in 1986, and Clara in 1988. The records in this collection include a photo album of Elsa's that records her involvement with the Motor Wheel Girls' Club, a social group for female employees, in addition to other records of her professional and volunteer activities.
