Daniel ALLEN
Laverna CHENEY

NOTE: When handwriting is sloppy, it can be difficult, even impossible, to tell the difference between "Daniel" and "David." My readings of the census records below are the same as those of the indexers. I can't speak for the tombstone reading or the submitter to the IGI. The balance leans to "Daniel." Or maybe one's his middle name and the other his first name, which is the reason they flip back and forth.

There's more on Ray and his family members (wife and children), enough to create a family group sheet for them, but this is getting too far afield for me.
