Elnora Thayer and Nora Graham are one in the same.  She was always called by Nora.  She was my grandmother and is buried in the same lot as Harley Henry Thayer (my grandfather), Graham (my father), Gary (my brother) and Marlea Thayer (my great Aunt)

 

In the section of the site which has births in Clark County, you have Jessie Graham listed b. 26 May 1880 (my great uncle).  There were seven other children in the family.  Jessie had a twin sister, Jennie;  my grandmother, Elnora Clarice Graham, b. 08 Oct 1883, d. 15 Dec 1947, buried at Colby Memorial;  Aurilla E Graham b. 1873,  George A Graham b. 1876, Charles O Graham b. 1878, Besse Barbara Graham b. 1892, Lucy E Graham b. 1896, and Cortez E Graham b. 18 Mar 1898.  For most of these, I have further information if needed.  Bruce E.
