She had a son Wayne. He ran away from home when he was older after he
found out that Ninion was not his real father.
Sent By Sylvia Alexander. Elmer died from complications of gall stones. He
was in terrible pain but the hospital kicked him out because he did not have
enough money.
One of Elmer's favorite jokes was when he was traveling on the train. He
lived in Ayr, Neb. One time a lady sitting next to him fell asleep, when she
awoke she asked Elmer if she had passed Ayr (air). Elmer said no she had not
passed air.
