Unknown if he was married to her mother, Myrtle Wilson, when my mother-in-law was born in 1926. Stories heard include that he died when my mother-in-law was an infant (between 1926 & 1928?) and that he was being put through college by an older sister and that he may have been a member of the shell/ rowing team at his college. I did find a 1910 census record showing a 4yr old Elmer who resided with an uncle, Frank Holzaffel, in Philadelphia (enumeration district 103). After that I hit a dead end. I would be deeply grateful for any info.
