Co. and Roy was still working there as a Set Up Man when he was married in
1920. His job was to set up machines for production workers and to change them
for different functions. This was considered a very good job and it payed 35
cents an hour. Roy and Mary traveled to Minnisota with Ben Riley and his wife
Esta, (Roy's sister) to build grain elevators. When they discovered that LeRoy

Treasurer in the 1940s. After retiring, Roy and Mary moved to rural Harrison
County on the coast of Mississippi near their eldest son LeRoy Jr in the Lyman
Community. Roy's health was very bad and he passed away on 12 November 1973. He
is buried in the family plot at Finley Cemetery just west of their residence.
Mary Elizebeth Long was working as a long distance operator at the telephone
office in August of 1919 in Marion, Indiana. One of her co-workers wanted her to
go on a date with a man she had never met. So, after work one night,several of
of them went to the only place in town that was still open after 9 PM.This was

later to become her husband. Roy's sister Esta was looking for a better job so
Mary brought her an application and she also went to work at the telephone
office. Roy, Mary and Esta and Ben Riley began double dating. Ben and Esta
married first on 28 February 1920 with Roy and Mary standing up for them. Roy
and Mary then married on 5 May 1920. In the 1950s Mary work for the American
