Ethel Mary Elmer's Father was actually Henry Arthur Elmer, and he is also buried in All Saints churchyard in Great Ashfield, but is one of the several Elmer family stones lined up to the immediate left of the path to the porch door of the church. He died relatively young due it is said to complications from flour-in-the-lung (a common health complaint of millers at the time). In the 1880's he is not present in 2 Census returns for Great Ashfield, and is believed for his health to have removed himself to Eldoret near Kitale, Kenya where he bought land which his youngest son (Leslie Arthur Elmer) took up and worked as a soldier/settler in the White Highlands, from 1921 up to his death there in 1942. His wife, son and daughter then lived there to the 1960's when she returned to Britain.
