Elam Herman Brackbill, commonly called Herman (born February 4, 1917; died January 9, 2008), was the sixth child and second son of Harry G. Brackbill and Esta Leona Leaman. He married Jane Young on May 20, 1939.

Herman was somewhat precocious, graduating high school two years early after skipping two grades in high school, and was chosen by his father to attend the Millersville Teacher's College along with two of his elder siblings. He received a two-year teacher's certificate when he was 17, but had to wait a year until he turned 18 to legally teach school.

Herman was something of a "jack of all trades" throughout his life, holding a variety of different positions, including:

• Farmer (1934-35)
• School teacher (1935 -36)
• Work at Hess's Mill (1936-40)
• Kinzer Equipment Company (1940-75)
• Spectrum Fidelity (1976-86)
• Greenleaf (1987-etc.)
• Ressler Mill Foundation (1987-etc.)
