Title: What became of Elmer G. Mitchell?
Post by: Erato on Sunday 17 March 24 05:58 GMT (UK)

Elmer Gentry Mitchell was born on 28 December 1893 in Johnson County, Indiana, the son of Emerson Mitchell and Sarah J. Hoops.  His mother died in 1899.  Elmer was recorded on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses with his widowed father in Johnson County.  Emerson Mitchell died on 28 July 1921.  I have found no record of Elmer after 1920 - no census, no marriage, no death.  Where did he go?

Have you got his WWI papers 
He gave his dob as 28 December 1892 on those.

If he earned a pension it will have the start and stop dates etc..

1920 census: was the Mitchell family listed directly below Elmer any connection to Elmer or his parents?

Sorry, 1893 was a typo.

As far as I know, those other Mitchells are unrelated.
