Hello, Adam,
I now have two Alvin Dyers in my data but very little information on either of them. To
the best of what I've found, the one I wrote about before was Alvin C. Dyer born about
1887 in Missouri; wife Hattie born about 1891 in Iowa. Children: Loys (daughter) b. abt.
1911, Phylis abt. 1913, Harry abt. 1915. and Lucile abt. 1917. They were in Osceola
Township, St. Clair Co., MO on the 1920 census. That is clear across the state from St.
Charles, as you probably know.
The other Alvin is the son of Alvin C.'s brother Willis Albert "Bert" Dyer
and Sarah F. Unknown. This Alvin was born May 28, 1904 in MO and I think is the same one
who died in July 1983. He was in Osceola Township on the 1920 census also. The last
social security record has him in the town of Osceola. I don't know who he married or
even whether he did. He had an older sister Stella F. and a younger brother Herbert H.
Herbert may have died in Jackson County, MO. I don't know any more about Stella.
This isn't much to go on but it's all I have. Do any of these names sound
familiar?
Vanette
