He died in Monroe La in 1987 I found his father to be Gus Elmer Roper/Foster in some census' he is listed as Gus and some as Elmer, my mom said he liked to be called Gus in his older years.He was born around 1898 in Ark. Thats all I know of dates for him he was married to Lucy Shipley, she was his 2 nd wife I have no dates for he but she was about 30 yrs younger than him. He had 2 children by his 1st wife I don't know her name but the kids were Edward -Ed- and Decie or Dessie Roper I think. I don't have dates for them either. I don't have any dates for his brothers or sisters but i am working on that now, as soon as I get them I will let you know.Thank you so much for helping me what I have found out so far has meant so much to me.
