Joshua,
I found a bit for you. First I found an obituary for Elvry and it has his parents names as Henry and Florence Churchill. So then I went to census and looked for him with those parents.
************************************
Elvry Churchill
6 January, 2006
Elvry Churchill Buxton- Elvry Miles Churchill, age 96, of Carll Road, died on Jan. 9, 2006 at the Maine Medical Center. He was born on June 6, 1909, the son of Henry and Florence Churchill. As a child, he attended schools in Portland. Through out his life, Mr. Churchill worked as mechanic. He started his career with Yuderstrom Bros. Later, he owned a fleet of school buses and contracted with the town of Buxton before the schools owned buses. For a short while he was the school bus mechanic for MSAD #6 after the school department owned buses. When he moved to Jacksonville FL he worked for ABC Trailer Company and worked on different types of Travel Trailers. After he returned to Maine, he worked for Key Bank as a courier. Mr. Churchill was a longtime member of the Buxton Grange. He is predeceased by his beloved wife- Marie (Oliver) Churchill who died in 2002; and two sons- Donald and Richard Churchill. He is survived by a son- Carl Churchill and his wife Patricia of Buxton; and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. A visiting hour will be held on Wednesday evening from 6-7 PM at the Dennett, Craig & Pate Funeral Home, Rts. 202 and 4A (13 Portland Road) in Buxton. A funeral service will immediately follow at the funeral home at 7 PM. Burial will be in the spring at South Buxton (Tory Hill) Cemetery. www.dcpate.com In lieu of flowers, the family strongly suggests that donations be made to the Animal Refuge League, 449 Stroudwater St., Westbrook Maine 04092.

I found a family tree that shows Marie Louise Oliver as daughter of John and Grace Oliver. I have no way of knowing if that is correct or not but thought I would let you know.
I took a look for Henry P. Churchill before 1910 to see if I could find him with first wife.

1870 POLAND, ADROSCOGGIN, MAINE
CHURCHELL (as in index)
