Obituary states he was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Wilmer's obituary says " His parents moved from Tenn. to Rockingham Co., Va., when he was 8 months old, and after 3 years they moved to near South English, Ia." If that is correct, the family lived in Rockingham Co. from roughly Jan 1904 to the end of 1906. But Aquila has an Iowa birth record in Keokuk County, Iowa.
