Clara and her son, Elmer

Here, a photo of Elmer Donaldson Daily with his mother, Clara Agnes Gould Daily. There is no date on the photo. He was born July 29, 1916 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His father was Winfield Anthony Daily, born in Ottawa, Kansas on April 7, 1885.

Elmer's father was an artist. He apparently did oil paintings, murals, and sets for Fox Studio in Hollywood. We have not located any of his art. He does pass a legacy of artistic talent down through the family, though. His daughter, Naomi Agnes Daily was an accomplished painter and musician. Nancy Daily is an accomplished artist in watercolor (Susie is a bit of a watercolor dabbler), Renee Danielle Torguson, Winfield's great granddaughter was also a wonderful artist and graphics designer and Deborah Lynn Decker Imbro, another of Winfield's granddaughters, is also an accomplished artist.
