I have a picture of a small child Elmer Weese. Am wondering just how he fits into my Weese line as there are so many in Fulton Co. I have a news clip of Catherine Weese, dau of a Elmer Weese, marriage to a Mr. Keime in Lewistown 1961. I know Catherine Keime, she passed in 2005, but did not know she was a Weese. Any help on this, appreciate it!
Hi Ardith, I looked for an obit for Elmer tonight at the library, but could not find one. I don't know if the one on the 1920 census is him, and the Elmer who died in Aug. 71 in Arizona are the same. (SSI) But if my math is right Elmer on the 1920 census is 9 on his last birthday 1919 (assuming it is August) and the 1910 census was done in April he would have been born in 1910 after April. That makes the same birth year 1910 for both Elmers. I will check and see if I can find anything in the newspapers with an obit for 1971. Deb
Hi Ardith, Here is the only obit I could find for Elmer. They were one in the same. Yeah! Math was right. LOL Here is his obit. Reference Fulton County Democrat, August 18, 1971- Pg-4 Col.-2

Wow Deb, thank you so much! I got a reply from Catherine Keime's dil and she has been told that family thought James was Elmer's father. You have collaborated it! Now, to see how related to Patterson! Thanks again!
