The obituary I have for the Jeanette (DABBS) SEILER (d. 1982) above lists her address as 1600 60th Street, Kenosha, WI. That is the same address we had in 1983 for the Elmer Seiler I'm looking for. But the obituary lists Elmer Seiler as a son, and I know his mother was Emma Meintzer. Emma died in 1926, so Elmer was raised by his father, Edward. Did his father die while Elmer was still under-age, and was he taken in by an aunt & uncle? Elmer and Edward both attended a reunion in 1930, so it would have been after that. Again, any help in clearing up these family ties would be most appreciated. Thank you for your patience, and forgive any confusion I've caused. Christine
