    Notes 
    • As Marion Leola Tousager on his indexed birth certificate.

      The tragedy surrounding the birth of the twins (both were born alive) and subsequent death of one of the twins and their mother left the birth and death records confusing. Birth certificate 28054 was for Roger L., the first twin born. Birth certificate 28055 was for Marion Leola, a male, the second twin born and the third child of Martin and Luella, all three children of whom were alive for a brief period of time. The death certificate for Raymond LeRoy includes the annotation, “B.C. gives name as Roger L.” The death certificate is also unclear about the death date of the twin, either April 25 or April 26. The best guess is that the first twin, Roger L., lived as Roger Laverne. The second twin was renamed Raymond LeRoy between birth and death.

      His and his mother’s obituaries give his death date as April 25th. His obituary uses the name of Raymond Leroy. His mother’s obituary does not mention either twin’s name.
