<DIV><BR>So you are saying that these folks are not local members of your long
established Elder family, right? <FONT color=#ff0000>Correct.
</FONT>Maybe they were visiting from someplace else? <FONT

were in school, I was working at the Post Office. </FONT><BR><BR>Did
they die at the same time? <FONT color=#ff0000>Only death date is 1976
for Frank Elder<BR></FONT><BR>Maybe their family has no idea where they are,
like you have no idea who they are? Have you checked with law
enforcement for missing persons files from 1976? <FONT
color=#ff0000>Nope. </FONT>Who and how were they identified?
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>Don't have a clue. Franks name is on a
cemetery map I copied years ago and that same information is on a card the
official cemetery district secretary has in her files. She gave me a
photocopy of that card. </FONT><BR><BR>My favorite story would be that
they were killed in a high speed car crash, having stolen a car and
identification from the "real Mr & Mrs Frank Elder" who lived Someplace
Else ... <FONT color=#ff0000>Great
