Hi, thanks for the reply. During the time I posted it and the time I received your reply,
I found my information but it was very nice of you to look too!
Yes, I had a chuckle that they listed Elmer Deer as a "Miss" instead of a
"Mr."....especially when men back there were "manly men"....Elmer may
not have appreciated it! I'm 100% positive that Elmer was a "he" and that
he was the son of Eva as he was my mom's cousin. My mom and aunts remember their
mother mentioning Eva and her "son" Elmer. I also have a picture of him with
his daughter, Evelyn and some other relatives circa 1928. Elmer married Marie Baird in
May of 1916 and they had a daughter, Evelyn, in 1919. I've since found Evelyn's
obituary with information pertaining to her marriage and her family. It's been a long
search but by staying positive and exhausting all avenues, it's paid off. Again,
thanks for the reply.
