Janis--The Census reports I have already sent to you
answer most of the questions you ask.
1. Of the two Bemis sons of Olivia, Ernest and Russell,
Ernest is the eldest and he was b. June 1893 and Russell was
b. Dec. 1894.Supported by the 1900 and 1920 Census-
2. Yes, Russell was the eldest child in the family of Olivia in 1920, but his elder brother Ernest A. Bemis was married and not living with them.Here is Ernest and his
family in 1920 (family or members not locatable in 1930 or at any later time after 1920).
***
1920 US Census, Portland,Multnomah County,OR; Enum. Dist. 196, p. 6B, lines 85-87
(Foster Road, Sycamore, Oregon)
Bemis, Ernest, Head, age 26, b. MI, parents b. MI, Salesman, Shoe Store
Helen, wife, age 27, b. IL, parents b. Canada(Eng), no occup.

3. The father of Ernest A. and his younger brother Russell A. Bemis is not known ( to me) but he was b. in MI
but Russell states he was b. in NE in the 1930 Census.

4. I have seen no referenceable/documentable information
that the father of Ernest and Russell was an "Albert" Bemis.
A Birth record for either Ernest or Russell would do it, or,
a marriage certificate for Olivia and her first husband.I
have searched for this Bemis individual very carefully and
cannot confirm an Albert Bemis--which is why I have repeatedly asked for any information about him.I don't
consider the unreferenced info on Ancestry in the submitted
information by "ourberta" proof of anything about "Albert".
Note that in one of the three submitted Ancestry files, Albert is claimed to have been b. in England, which is not supported by any of the Census records that I have given to you.
5. As for Olivia's mother Emma, I do not not know her
maiden name, nor have I looked for it, but she probably d. in Portland and her death certificate should have it.There are two candidate Emma Tuckers, one d. 1936 and the other d. 1939.
