  Notes	Leonaides was homosexual and had no children. Aunt Mildred says "in the days when that was a real no-no." He lived in San Francisco as an adult. He did marry as a young man, probably in Nebraska, but separated after a short marriage. When mom and dad (Ina Mae Wolfe Lewis and Rex Owen Lewis) would go and see him in San Francisco he was probably a housewife. I wish I knew his spouse's name. He gave mom some cute shoes. One of his brothers was a missionary in Africa for many years. When their kids were ready for college, they would go live with uncle Leonidas and his partner.
