Dear Shelly, I'm very sure this is the father of Thelma Empey Bronk. When I was a young girl I used to visit them on their farm in Empeyville with their granddaughter Marsha, who still lives in Camden. Homer and his wife Emma moved into town later in life and lived across from my house on Third St. I will contact Marsha and alert her to your message.
