Hi folks, Thanks for posting the references to the Wood County OH Directory. I think all my ELDER surnames were gone from Wood County by 1916, but maybe they are mentioned somehow in the Directory, anyway. Mary Ada ELDER ROE, Josiah Elder's sister, may have returned by then to Weston, Wood Co. She died in Weston in 1946. She married Robert Anthony ROE. I recognize the name EBERLY as one that testified in Joseph ELDER's Civil War pension papers. I'm still looking for John ELDER's parents in Pennsylvania.
