Looking for information on Clarence Rayburn Elliott born around 1905 somewhere in USA maybe Ohio
Clarence is the father-in-law,I never met. He and his wife Albertine Kruger (born in 1901 in Germany)had twin boys (Bronx, NY) who went away to summer camp when they were 5 or 6 years old. Clarence came to see the boys at the camp. however, he never reached them as he had a heart attach on the grounds at age 45. I married one of the twins Robert Charles Elliott in 1972 and became part of the family. We had two children, whom my mother-in-law adored and they in turn her. I'm sorry to say they never met their grandfather. I understand he was a race car driver and went under the name of Wild Bill Elliott and drove mini racing cars. It would be nice to find out more information about the man I never got to meet.
