I am looking for any information regarding the family/grandparents of Otto Eirs/Ayers.

Otto [b. 1895 Jan 2, Poplar, Audubon, Iowa] is the second child of
Joseph F. Eirs [b. abt 1865, Ohio] and
Elizabeth Mary Goodwill [b.1872 Inwood, Lyon, Iowa].

Other children are:
Ernest [b.1892 Iowa]
Otto [b.1895 Poplar, Audubon, Iowa]
Lillian M [abt 1897 Iowa]
Rosa [abt 1898 Iowa]
Bertha [abt 1901 Iowa]
Clarence [abt 1904 N.Dak.]
Roy [abt 1906 N.Dak.]
Alice [abt 1908 N.Dak.]
Ethel Jean [abt 1910 Oregon]
Ruth Jane [1911 Feb 28, N.Dak.]

Joseph's parents place of birth:
fa: Bohemia/Germany, mo: Bohemia/Germany

Joseph had at least one brother, Wesley.

Jires, Wesley J b.abt 1870 Ohio;
sp. Rika b. abt 1871,Germany
Louis E b. 1902, Iowa
George b. 1903, Iowa
Emma b. 1904, N.Dak
Joe b. 1908 N.Dak
Willie b. 1909, N.Dak
Lily b.1911, N.Dak

I know nothing of Goodwill's parents except that they were possibly born in Tenesee (can't quite make it out for sure on the census)

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
