Homer was a brother to my Gmother, Willa Mae. Her parents were William Delbert and Eliza Alice (Midkiff) Edens. She was born in Cabel or kanawha co of WVA. There was a Vivian, Thomas,Vernon, Dora, James,Clifford, oh.. I can't remeber the rest.I'll have to look them up. Wm Delbert and Eliza Alice were buried in ten mile cem in Hamilton co. IL. I have had contact with Ed Griffith; who gave Viola May Edens Morrison as his GGmother and sister to Wm Delbert. He gave a printed story written by Willie E Edens, another sister of Wm Delbert.I recently had contact with Ryan Eden, whois
a GGson of Wm Homer. His Gfather is Leslie Homer and confirmed that Willa Mae was his father's sister. He recognized the other names as relatives also.My Gmother was married twice: (1) Alonzo Fann and (2) Homer K. McElroy.
She had 6 Fann children and 2 McElroy boys. The Fanns were
born in McLeansboro, IL and West Hamlin, WVA where she was born. The McElroy boys were born in Iowa; I think in Fairfield IA. If you want more... let me know. Bonnie
