Roy, Ray and Hugh DeAutremont spent most of their lives in the Oregon State penitentiary after a failed attempt at train robbery near Klamath Falls, Oregon,in 1923. They were apprehended in 1927.
Roy lived at the Oregon State Hospital many years and died in a nursing home in 1984.
Hugh was paroled in 1958. Moved to San Francisco after his release. He died in 1959.
Ray was paroled in 1961 and worked at the U of O as a part time custodian. He died in 1984.
While incarcerated Hugh founded a prison magazine "Shadows" which won national awards as a prison publication. It was published until 1959.
Suggested edit: The narrative for the DeAutremont Brothers on Find a Grave states they were involved in a "failed attempt at train robbery near Klamath Falls, Oregon, in 1923." This is incorrect. The attempted robbery was at Tunnel #13 in the Siskiyou Mountains, 12 miles south of Ashland, Oregon.
