Notes

  • Betty Gregston has Elma's name as Elmo Wagnon.  Elma gives his name as Elma in his registrations for both WWI and WWII.  She and some others report his birthplace as Enterprise, in Rusk County, Texas, which is the location on his WWII registration.  We do find his father living in Rusk County, but Elma himself reports his birth place as Anderson, Grimes County, Texas, in his WWI registration.  See details below.

    1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 20 April, Rock Creek, District 244, page 2A, Hse/Fam #23
    Wagnon, Andrew Head M W 55 Married 23 yrs GA GA GA Farmer Rents
    Wagnon, Rena  Wife F W 51 Married 23 yrs TX TN TN
    Wagnon, Elmer  Son M W 20 Single TX GA TX Farm Hand

    Elma is listed here and in at least one other census as Elmer.  He is called Elma in his WWII Draft Registration.  A family genealogy lists him as Elmo.  Elma (Elmer) and his two siblings were all born in Texas.  His brother Ed, the last child, is age 14 in this 1910 census, meaning he was born in about 1896.  They would have moved to Indian Territory (Chickasaw Nation) after this year.

    In his WWI Draft Registration, he reports his name as Elma, and reports his exact birth date as 10 February 1890.  His signature confirms that his name is Elma.

    Registered 5 June 1917, Stephens County, Oklahoma
    Signed Elma Jackson Wagnon

    Note that Elma reports his birth place as Anderson, Texas.  I have reported this as his birth place.  There is some discrepancy, however, since in his WWII registration in 1942, Elma reports his birth place as Mt Enterprise (Rusk County), Texas.  I am assuming the earlier report is the more precise or accurate.

    1920 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 23 January, Duncan, District 247, page 20B, 2nd Street, Hse #250, Fam #265

    I have not been able to find a census record for Elma and family for 1930.

    Birth 10 Feb 1890 Mt Enterprise (Rusk County),  Texas

    Registration Richmond, Contra Costa County, California [no date]

    Note again the spelling of his first name.  The birth place here is different from that he reported in his WWI registration above, Anderson, which is in Grimes County.  Several genealogies have followed the date given in this WWII registration, with no comments on the difference from the location reported in the WWI registration.
