Looking for parents of William H. Xander

Looking for parents of William H. Xander

Classification: Query
Surnames: Xander, Hurst, Eyer
My Fathers family didn't know anything about their Xanders except for their Father. I found him {and family} in the 1920 Census in Curry Co. New Mexico. He was William Howard Xander b 8 Aug 1871 in Olney, Illinois m Carrie L Belle Hursh b 4 Jan 1866. In E Germantown, Ind.d 5 May 1943. They had 4 sons, Ross, Guy, Carl and Ray and 2 Daughters Helen and Arlene. It listed his Father from Pennsylvania and Mother from Maryland. Carrie was married before to Christian Eyer b 2 Dec 1864 d 19 Oct 1893. They had 1 or 2 sons. I need to learn who Williams Parents were and Carries. Does anyone know anything about them? I'd appreciate any information. Thanks

I did a google search and found this site:

It lists a William H. Xander who died in 1958 at age 87 who would match your William. It tells you how to get a copy of the obit (it does cost money though). Perhaps the obit would be helpful to you if you don't already have a copy.

William is about the right age for your William.
