Not proven the Elmer of the death certificate is the son of Henry and Rebecca, but it seems likely. His wife was the informant and she had the given names of his parents wrong (unless Edward and Martha were their middle names) and had his state of birth wrong. But surnames of parents was right and there was an Elmer of the right age in Cedar County, MO.
