Elmer was middle aged when my father, Earl Neil Damaska, was born, youngest of his children. So my dad remembers little about his father's family. Here's what I know. Elmer Charles Damaska (b. 4/1/1909 d. 1/9/1994) was the son of Levi Damaska (b. 6/19/1888 d. after 1930) (last known residence for Levi is in Wexford County Hospital, Haring, Michigan as a patient in the 1930 US Census) Nellie Arvilla Leavitt Damaska (b. 11/17/1890 d. 3/18/1914) The story goes that Elmer was born in Boon, Michigan and when his mother died when he was 5 years old and he went to live with her parents. My research has proven that. Elmer Charles Damaska adopted grandson of, Eunice Almeda Letson Leavitt (b. 1872 d. 1960) William Wesley Leavitt (b. 1856 d. 1930) Residents of Boon, Michigan. (Eunice Almeda Letson Leavitt - remarried to a Mr. Burns sometime after 1930) My grandfather Elmer Charles Damaska, alway talked about a brother of his that died at birth, or as baby. I have found records of a Wesley Damaska born about 1906 or 1907, possible 1908. I cannot find any other information to verify. He also said that there were children of the family buried in Boon, but as I live in South West Michigan, near Detroit, I am unable to make it up to Boon. If anyone has any information about the family members listed, I would greatly appreciate all you could share with me.
