I find the name similarities on this just too uncanny. My husband's family has a Waldo St John Demers. He was born in Brunswick, Rensselear County, New York July 09, 1892. His father was Joseph Demers born March 1858 in NY. His mother was Sarah Murphy. Joseph Demer's mother was name Emeline Unknown & his father Marrie Demers born in France. I am not sure if there is a connection or not but the names caught my eye.
