Finis LeRoy Gold

(2 Aug 1914 - 2 Oct 2003)



1940 Census. Baca Co, CA. Allie O. Gold was the enumerator. She listed her family on the last page.
Hh 38: Finis L. Gold, 25, b. CO. Oma E., wife, 24, b. KY. Curtis Lee, son, 2, b. CO. Finis was a farmer and he and Oma were living in the same house in 1935
Hh 39: Robert D. Gold, 57, b. MO, Farmer. Allie O., wife, 58, b. TX, Teacher, Public School. Lived in the same house in 1935
Hh 40: Orland R. Gold, 30, b. MO. Juanita M., wife 29, b. OK. Gene Reandeau, 20 hired hand. In 1935 Orland was living in Lamar, Prowers Co, CO and Juanita was in Denver. He was a farmer.

The grave listing for his brother Orland on FindAGrave, states that Orland's brother was Finis Leroy Gold.

This is likely the wrong Finis Gold.
The SSDI gives Finis a year of birth 1918, but in the 1930 census with his parents, Finis is listed as age 15, born 1915.
On FindAGrave there is a Finis E. Gold who was born 12 Feb 1918 in Missouri and died Jul 1897, in Missouri. Said to have lived in Nixa, MO and been the mayor; a son of Homer and Audie Hair Gold. Buried Frazier Cemetery, Boaz, Christian Co, MO.
A WorldConnect database then shows that Homer Gold was a son of Silas Joseph Gold - brother to Lorenzo Dow Gould. So the two Finis Golds were cousins.
