Elmer was the son of Judd & Elizabeth née Miller Hillyer. He had 2 brothers Roy Michael & Victor; & 3 sisters Fern, Helen & Velma.

The consistent family story is that Judd & Lizzie grew up on neighboring German farms in Kansas for 7 years. Federal census list them both as being born in IL. This has lead to some speculation that they may have been Orphan Train Riders but no confirmation of this has been found to date.
