Individual Details

Robert A. "Lon" Amos Jr

(Dec 1873 - 17 Sep 1953)

My Great Grandfather appears to have lead two lives. One as Amos, and then later Ames. An inconvenient truth to hide his past life? Born in Missouri, already once divorced, he again married in 1903 in Kansas, and was later divorced for abandonment of his wife and three children. He fled Kansas for Texas, where he met my Great Grandmother and they married and had their first child while there. Soon they left for Colorado. Why? It was unknown to me for the longest time, but once the pieces started falling in place, Colorado is where some of the Amos are living. My Grandmother was born in Colorado, and shortly after the family left for Santa Barbara, California. Some Amos are buried there, as well as their third child who died at the age of three of Spinal Menengitus complicated by the onset of the Spanish Flu of 1917. So this man goes by many names. Robert Alonzo Amos, or more often Robert A Amos, but sometimes Lon and L as a middle initial so Robert L Amos or Ames also. Or just Lon Ames. Very easy to hide when your name keeps changing.. I suppose we can learn from his example you cannot hide from your past, but also even out of bad some good can come from it.
