Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/213 Message Board Post: I am researching the Elder Surname. Jay Elder and Will Elder known to be in the Hood River area. Jay born about 1874 in Wisconsin and Will also born Wisconsin but am not sure of his birth year. They were brothers. I know that Will lost his first wife and married an Indian Woman. He was planning a trip back to Wisconsin to visit his family when he was killed by a train. I don't think that Will was his full name. May have been William or William may have been a middle name. I have really come up against a brick wall. Would appreciate any help that I can get.
