In the 1900 census there is an Elmer in Boone Co who was born in 1867 which is probably him. His parents were born in Ohio. This is the same Elmer as first one above since he is married to Sally. He was a paper hanger.
Children:
Herman A 5
Ruby A 2

Then I found an Elmer E Thompson in Missouri who was born in 1863 in Indiana, par b Ohio. See why this gets difficult?

William and Hannah apparently were dead by 1930 as I didn't find them and they would have been in their 90s.
I don't remember if I gave you this census.So most of her children didn't die as stated in an earlier census!
