Error on my part

508.c.(3) Elmer J b.19 Jul 1884 d.15 Sep 1972 D - SSdi m. Grace King

Chart now reads:

432.
d. Levi b. 15 Jun 1838 Ny d. 19 Mar 1920 m. 30 Nov 1872 Ada Smith
(b.24 Dec 1843 d.16 Jan 1912) res. Ashtabula Co, Oh 1910
(1) Elmer O - Doctor - b.21 Aug 1872
(a) Donna

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to add any other dates or information on Elmer O and daughter
Donna.

At this point I have nothing, I can remember, which shows he was alive after
1900; that he married or had a family. I don't think I found him in 1910 or
1920. Where might he be in 1930 - was he alive or dead- your best guess.
