Notes:

I found information on Leslie W starting in 1942 where he was living in Spanaway. His wife Nancy C shows up in 1947(but remember the war years books were missing). Leslie worked as a janitor from 1951 until 1954. In 1956 he was first listed as a barber and then only for the last two years of his life. Nancy was listed as an apartment manager in 1957, but beginning in 1959(after Leslie's death) she was a nurse for an R. L. Stephens. She was no longer listed after 1963 and there was no obituary listed for her..

Notes:

Likely born in or around Athabasca Alberta as his family was living there in 1916

Does not appear with his father and Grandfather in the 1916 census, maybe he and his mother had come back to the US by then.

J W POLLEY had 3 Great Grandchildren and one Grandson at the time of his death, this is almost certainly the Grandson and therefore it must be his children who are the 3 Great Grandchildren.
