Elisha Farmer 1858-1917 - wife Mildred Reese 10/4/1864-6/29/1951 daughters Edna Grace 11/28/1887-1893 Hertha 10/23/1890-6/6/1983 Helen 3/22/1892-1/25/1955 - married Howard Evans had 5 children All are buried in the Westmoreland Union (new) Cemetery. Elisha - father was Phillip P. Farmer - mother -unk ( Phillip is my 3rd Great Grand Uncle) Roomer pasted down is that Elisha ran away from home at age of 6 because his stepmother was so mean. We know that Phillip was married to 1st wife, Salana Wood had 4 sons . Then to Elishas mother, 3rd wife was Emma. Can anyone put some light on who Elishas mother could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
