Notes from niece Diane Eiland
Thelmer was my father's older sister. My father sat at the hospital with Harold when he was dying. Harold was a Mason and my father and several other Masons kept a 24 hour watch at the hospital for several days. My family lived in Dallas and when we visited Rockdale we would stay with Thelmer and Harold in the big house in downtown Rockdale where she had her beauty shop. Harold was always very quiet. In later years when his hearing was gone he pretty much stayed to himself. I know he enjoyed working in his garage, gardening and doing things out at the old Eiland home place. I am the executor my Thelmer's will and last week when I went to probate court the lawyer said that he remembered Harold as being a very quiet man but one time he attended a funeral where Harold led the Masonic service that he was quite lively.

Harold was orphaned when he was 8 years old and was attending a private school on the 1920 census. I was not able to find his father Albert in any census (1870, 1880, 1900 or 1910).
