Roy was the second born twin. The doctor, at his birth, wished the twins to be named after heroes of the Spanish American War and therefore unknown to his parents, recorded their names as Dewey and Sly. This was discovered when everyone had to have their birth certificates during World War II (issued in 1940). At the time of his birth, his father was 41 and his mother was 27 years old. His father gave his occupation as a meat cutter on Roy's birth certificate.
While living in Salt Lake City with the family at 280 J Street, he worked for his uncle George Hardy in a general store. Roy dropped a metal bar or pipe on his big toe and it had to be amputated. While in the hospital having this done, he met Maude who was 10 years older than he was. She moved with her daughter to Los Angles, CA area and Roy followed by 1930. He is listed as a border in her household in the 1930 census.
The family has never known if he really legally married either Maude or Louise although both women went by the last name of Mock. They were treated by the family as his wives at gatherings etc. but no documentation of any marriage has been found.
In the 1930 census, Roy gives his occupation as an electrician at a substation. He was employed as an electrician in the maintenance division working on switches along the yard and the system of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the Los Angeles area. He had no children from either wife.
