*One reason James Leeroy Giles has been so hard to trace is that in various census records he said his parents were born in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas! He is on 1900 Soundex in Indian Territory, 1910 Soundex for Choctaw Co., OK. 1936 - 39 he came to Hobbs, New Mexico and was employed by the Star Telegram and delivered newspapers. He lived next door to son Andrew William and wife Jessie. After J. L.Giles death in 1941, all Giles left tlhe Hobbs area. Although he died in a sanitarium in Las Vegas, New Mexico, all attempts to locate a death certificate on him have failed.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
