The birth years listed for these two are very wrong. Even if you base it upon the 1880 birth year of Royal Edward Wampler alone. However, thanks to familysearch.org's site, I have come across more accurate birth information for these two individuals.
On Elizabeth Ann Wampler's 1932 marriage application, to Everett Messel, she listed her birth date as Jan 27 1914. According to the 1940 US Census, Elizabeth and Everett apparently had a daughter named Sue, around 1933, that was listed as living with Royal Edward and Goldena Wampler. Everett Messel enlisted in the Army in April 1941 and stated he was divorced with dependents. He married a second time, in 1947, to Muriel DeCoursey and had 3 more children.
On the October 1941 marriage application, of Royal Franklin Wampler to Evelyn Lorean Fisher Ragsdale, Frank stated his birth date as Feb 17 1911 and that both of his parents were deceased. This was Royal Franklin Wampler's second marriage, he states his first marriage ended in divorce in 1938. Evelyn Lorean Fisher was previously married to Waldo Luther Ragsdale, had a daughter, and divorced in 1940. Evelyn married yet one more time as, in her and Waldo's daughter obituary, her last name was listed as White. I have not come across information about Royal Franklin Wampler's first marriage.
In 1930 US Census, Royal Franklin Wampler is listed living with his aunt, Mayfair Hannah Gilmore, and her husband, Murlin Walker Boyd, in Indianapolis. Waldo R. Luking, 28, is listed as being a boarder in the household. From what I've ascertained, according to US Census reports, Murlin and Mayfair did not have any children. Murlin was the son of David F. Boyd and Louetta Neal of Knox County.
Royal Edward Wampler's wife, Goldena R., and her sister, Mayfair Hannah, were daughters of William M. Gilmore and Charlotte Ann "Lottie" Wallace.
At this point in time, I have not come across when Royal Franklin or Elizabeth Ann passed away. Wondering if perhaps the years listed for them of 1969 and 1960,on the Wampler/Wampfler Database site, are when they passed versus born?
