Notes:
Elbert has always been known to us as "Al". He was always an outgoing boy in school and very active with his friends. He was in Scouts and spent all his summers at Boy Scout Camps, with his father. Al spent a lot of vacations with his grandmother in Mass. He loved spending time with his grandmother Damon "Grammy" and his Uncle Gerald, who was about his same age, running around Williamstown, Mass. He entered the United States Air Force when he was 19 and was trained as a Medic. Al was stationed at Charleston, S.C., but spent a lot of time flying overseas to such places as Brazil, Japan, Vietnam, Surinam and Dominican Republic. These flights were primarily to treat Military personnel in isolated areas. He met his wife Sharon during his second year in the service. They were married one year later and then moved back to York Pa. when he was discharged as a Sgt. Al always took care of the family with medical advice and help to all.
He then went to work at a Ford dealership, as a Credit manager for a number of years. He then went into work as a general contractor, and developed low income housing in the City of York, PA. After a number of years being self employed he has turned his contracting skills into a full time position as General director of housing at an elderly housing project in the City of York, PA where he has become a trusted associate that the elderly all appreciate his presence. Al raised his boys with the same caring attention he put into his medical career and his scouting career, always looking to help others, and set an example for them. He has been a family member that we all look to for advice and leadership. He continued to show his caring attitude by helping his parents as they have retired and needed constant attention.
Al has been the guiding force of this genealogy study of the Damon family. He has a sincere desire to teach his children and their children the true meaning of family and with this the hopes of the future by presenting a history of the past.

41. | Baughman, Cesar Augusto (16.K.S.3, 4.Dorothy2, 1.Runette1) was born on 20 May 1974 in Guatamala; died on 01 Jan 1989 in Red Lion, York Co., PA. Notes:
Cesar hung himself with a horse leader, on a tree out in the pasture. They spotted him in the morning from the kitchen window. Billy told Karen to keep the other kids in the house, while he ran to the tree and tried to hold him up while waiting for the paramedics to arrive. Cesar was a native Indian of Guatemala who was deaf and adopted by Karen and Billy. They went to Guatemala to pick him up and found a very scared little boy. He had watched his parents killed by government troops and they he went into hiding in the mountains with other refugees. When Karen went to pick him up there were problems because he was about to turn 12 and he would have been drafted into the Army that killed his parents. Karen obtained help from a US senator to process the adoption before his birthday.
He adapted very well at first but as time went on he was overwhelmed with memories of the past and confused over problems at home. Karen found pictures in his room that he drew of his parents being shot. He was a student of York County Vo Tech where he studied construction skills. He was also involved in wrestling, and he was very good with the animals at home. They had numerous farm animals. We remember Cesar as a shy boy with a big grin and always very polite. He was a wonderful addition to our family and we will always miss him.
