Marrying Two Sisters


Leonard Dale McKown was the son of Roy A McKown & Sylvia Miller. He married two daughters of Frederick August Grisback & Ruby Mae Worden - Edith & Lavonne.

Edith was born in 1908 and married Leonard in 1939 and he married Lavonne around 1955. Edith died in 1980, while Lavonne died in 2002. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything more about the sisters other than Lavonne had married 6 times and if the records are right, she had 2 children. Leonard died in 1956.
