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

    Devera Allen-Scheller wrote me in March 2010 to make contact, sharing the following comments about Elma Laverne Wagnon.  Before receiving this note I had no information about Elma's wives or children.

    "Mr. Wagnon is my biological grandfather.  I met him one time.  He had two daughters with his first wife Pauline.  Their names were Paula (the eldest) and Beverly Sue ( the youngest).  Paula is my mother.  I am now 46 year old and would love to know more about my biological family."

    Elma was married twice.  Betty Gregston reports the two marriages, and even provides date of marriage, but has no name for either wife.

    His first wife was Dorothy Mae Askins, whose first husband was Albert Robinson, whom she married in 1958.  She divorced Albert at some point then married Elma LaVerne Wagnon in December 1965.
