In Response To: Obituary for Elizabeth Emma Boyd (Marilyn Holmes)

I located her obituary and a couple of additional items. I think that she is born either November 17, 1909 or November 17, 1911. Her father is probably Charles Durham and her mother is probably Minnie Pearl Killian who eventually marries John Hayes. The sources are consistent with Decatur, Macon, Illinois as the place of birth of Elizabeth. In the 1940 census, it is listed that Elizabeth was living in Decatur, Illinois in 1935.
