Woodburn is in SW Iowa, Clarke County. He was also a minister in Davis City, Kellerton, Russell, Bridgewater, Keokuk, Cantril, and Derby, all in Iowa. He married Ella Jane Robey, a west virginia schoolmate. They had three children, Thurman, Mildred and Mae. John Elmer and Ella were married in1899 in Woodburn, Iowa. He had a brother Manny two years younger. My father said John Elmer's dad and many generations back were ministers. He is buried in Woodburn cemetery. Hope this helps. Linda
