You're right, that's what I get for trying to post the information from memory. This time I checked my records. Edmond Efner's occupation was listed as a riverboat pilot. He also died in a tornado, but I don't have any evidence that the two facts are connected.
I'm only distantly related to Edmond Efner. His grandfather was the brother of my g-g-g-g grandfather. All of the Effner/Efner/Efnor's are related in some manner, it's just a matter of finding out what the connection is.
