      Elmer was born April 18, 1919 in South Dansville, the son of Erwin and Lorena (Wellington) Lander. He resided in the South Dansville area throughout his younger years. On Feb. 21, 1942, Elmer entered the United States Army and served his country during World War II until his honorable discharge on Nov. 24, 1945.
