• Notes

  1st wife Regina Bauman 2nd wife Nora Stewart Elmer was adopted by Christopher & Catherina when he was two years old. He found out he was adopted when he was 27 years old & needed a birth certificate for his place of employment. He then got to know his birth mother's family. In 1985 Elmer wrote the following: I went to school until I was 16 then I worked for my father as a truck driver. After marriage I drove a passenger bus for a couple of years- 1926-28 between Toronto & London. I worked in a garage as a motor mechanic for four years & then was laid off for five years. After that I got a job at the post office and worked there for 34 years. I have been retired for 15 years. We miss getting a card from your parents. We stopped in to see them in 1981. (My mother, Edith Zarn Allen wrote to Elmer for a number of years from the late 50's when Grandpa Henry Zarn stayed with them at Piney).
