Census
1900 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Pearce precinct, enumerated 2 June, lists on p. 2B as family #31:

Nov 1889; Everst, son, 7, b. June 1892; Francis M., dau, 4, b. May 1896; Roy, son, 2, b. Nov 1897. All born Ky Ky Ky.
The middle initial B for William must either be a mishearing of E, or else stand for Bert, because as an adult he went primarily by Elbert.

The name that I’ve transcribed as Lummie is transcribed by Ancestry.com as Laramie, but I believe that is incorrect. His birth and death records both spell his name as Luma.
