I've traced Leroy to Wheeling (no longer a town), OK in 1906 only through a family Bible entry re: marriage to Rendy. I haven't found any further reference to him beyond that. I know who his parents are and where he was born through Social Security. I have located his parents and siblings in 1900 MO Census and his grandparents in 1880,70,and 60 MO Censuses. With the 1890 Census destroyed, I've found no other mention of Leroy. I did check the soundex for him in MO and have placed an order for the 1900 OK Soundex, but I don't know if I'll find him.
Any assistance/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Ciao for now,
Ray Chastain
