His widow was Evelyn according to the Oregon death index.
In the 1920 census, he was a yard clerk for a railroad.
In the 1930 census, he was no longer living with his mother and step-father. In that census, he is living with his dead wife’s brother, Edward Haines, in a rented house on South Riverside in Klamath Falls. He is a widower and works as a salesman for a railroad. No children are living with him. Collette and Colleen are shown as “boarders” in the household of Gertrude and Phil Schroeder in Klamath Falls.
The city directories indicate that he lived in Klamath Falls when he was married to Myrtle. He was a traveling agent for the Great Northern Railroad. (A 1932 article in The Oregonian agrees with this.) He was with Evelyn in the 1949 directory, he was still with Myrtle in the 1938 directory.
In the 1940 census, Leo, Myrtle, Robert, Floyd, and Patsy lived at 10305 Skidmore in Parkrose in Oregon. Leo had four years of high school, Myrtle had four years of college. Five years earlier, everyone in the family had lived in Klamath Falls. Leo was a business manager for a (something) Line.
He registered for the draft on 15 Feb 1942 in Portland. He was described as 5 ft 9 in tall and weighing 150 lbs. He had blue eyes, brown hair, and a light complexion. The little finger on his left hand had a bent end. He and Myrtle lived at 39th and Alberta Court in Portland. He was employed by the S.P. and S. Railroad at its car office at 11th and Hoyt in Portland.
In the record of his marriage to Evelyn in 1943, he listed it as his third marriage. His father was born in Ireland and had been employed as a butcher. His mother was born in Canada.
In the 1955 Klamath Falls city directory, he and Evelyn and Evelyn’s children from her previous marriage lived at 4680 Peck Drive. Leo, and his step-son Robert, worked for Klamath Basin Pine Mills.
