Do you know if Edmond lived in Alabama at all?? This is from the UK site of ancestry.com, and lists C E Porter among the residents at this house:

Birthplace: Georgia

Answer 2

Do you know where his parents were born?  And his death date?

His mother's name?

There are 9 John Porters of about the right age in the 1920 census in Georgia, but none with a father name Edmond.

Answer 3

A copy of his death certificate can be found at:

http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=V...

His father was Edmond Carl (or Carl Edmond) Porter.

He's in the 1920 census, living with his father and, what appears to be, a step-mother.  

His mother was alive in 1918, when his father registered for the draft:  http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=V...

I'll check a little further.
