Eloda was born to Charles Reuben Minor and Alice Lodema Bancroft Minor at Menomonee, Menomonee County, Wisconsin. Shortly after her birth her parents moved to Diamond, Cherokee County, Iowa. At the age of 21 (1893) at Canton, Lincoln County, South Dakota she married Luther Anson Jackson. They were the parents to 14 children. The first two sons, Calvin and Guy, did not survive infancy.
In about 1907 they were living at Pennington, South Dakota where Luther had filed on homestead land. By 1910 Eloda had returned to Fairview, Lincoln County, SD. Being unable to care and feed all of her children, she placed all except the older ones in the Souix Falls South Dakota Children's Home. From there they were adopted.
