High Five from one Hoosier to another! :-) Over the years I had heard much of the Lilly Company's innovations and of the foundation's philanthropic efforts, but I, too, learned new facts about the company and its founder while researching this post. The Eli Lilly Company is but another reason to be proud to be a Hoosier. I'm glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for stopping by.

I'm sure he was crushed, but instead of giving up and allowing his life to fall apart, he used his grief to help others; a wonderful testament to the man's character. Thanks for stopping by!

Can you imagine Lilly's grief at losing his wife and baby and then failing as a plantation owner. Many would have given up then, but Lilly didn't, and just think how much he made life easier for so many suffering people.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-80852916420501491952015-07-06T10:24:29.264-04:002015-07-06T10:24:29.264-04:00Hi Ramona, thank you for your interesting post.

I think what makes Eli Lilly';s accomplishments even more impressive is that he did all that without government grants and the billions of dollars that goes into today's research. We need more men like him.Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-30794421085246552672015-07-06T08:33:18.015-04:002015-07-06T08:33:18.015-04:00Ramona, thanks for sharing more about Eli Lilly...Ramona, thanks for sharing more about Eli Lilly's life. I saw the monument while at the ACFW conference in Indianapolis. Impressive! Now I know more of the man's story who made that possible.
