Research notes

  • Evidence: Index only: his brother Homer's funeral-home obituary (2017) names a sibling Elmer.1 The index entry does not say whether he was then living.
  • Family tree (leads only): The old family tree, copying an Ancestry member tree, gives his birth as about 1913 in Missouri, without a source.
  • Living flag: He is treated as deceased because the tree's birth year, about 1913, is more than 100 years ago. That year has no source; if the censuses show him born after 1925 and no death is found, he must be treated as living.
  • Leads: the 1920 and 1930 censuses of Bates County (household of Walter F. Swezy); the Social Security Death Index; Find a Grave; the Adrian and Butler newspapers.
  • This profile is part of the Hegnauer one-name study, as a son of Clara Hegnauer.
