Lila Mae Pilaut was born 4 October 1898[1] in Caldwell County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of John Elbert Pilaut and Ida B. Blackburn.[2][3]
She was married 20 August 1919 in Metropolis, Massac, Illinois to Elmer G. Harris.[4][5] She was the mother of two daughters Geraldine "Jerry" and private; and son Elmer Guy Harris Jr.
