Charla - Just to get you started, I found your grandfather's family on the 1930 census.They are enumerated in Stokes Township, Logan County, Ohio in Enumeration District 46-32, Supervisor's District 16, Sheet 5B, lines 76-80.Elmer is 51 and a grain farmer.Wife Viola is 48 and sons Virgil, Leo and Donald are 14, 13 and 8, respectively.Everyone in the family was born in Ohio.Both Viola's parents were born in Ohio, as was Elmer's mother, but Elmer's father was listed as being born in Virginia.Age first married for Elmer and Viola is listed as 21 and 18.If this is the only marriage for both, then there may be older children who had moved away by 1930.There is also the family of John Lillard listed a couple of sheets earlier in the same township.John is of an age that could make him a brother to Elmer.Hope this is helpful.
