I am searching for family information and names of parents of Ernest L Lewis who was born Oct 24, 1912 in Missouri and died 13 Sept 1973 in El Dorado, California.. He was married to Laura Grace Creber. Ernest was the original owner of Ernie's Bar B Q resturant in Columbia, Missouri. And his wife Laura's parents owned and operated the Poole & Creber Mkts. Any help in locating information about the Lewis family will be apprecitated. The names of Ernest Lewis's parents and or place of birth would be a great help in completing my research.
Thanks
Ray Massey

Now is Laura the daughter of John and Mabel Creber?

thanks for the suggestions but I have already checked those records with no luck and only 4 more days until the 1940 census is up and running I hope to find something in them

I believe so, yes.
