Note 1
multiple connections with McElwee: First Billy Milze was stepfather to one of my best friends Berry Beard and long time very good friend to me. I grew up in the same house that he did. My parents bought the house on 4 & Mulberry corner in Augusta in 1943 right after his mother died, and lived there some 30 years.
a Mr and Mrs McElwee are listed in Emma's wedding book for a gift, possilbe that Dad was rooming with them before marriage.
Christine Davis McElwee, aunt to Billy Milze was one of Emma's best friends for very long time, as were others in Davis family.
