Eunice Royce LaDuke and Ralph G. LaDuke


Eunice Royce La Duke was a Great Aunt of Chris, a sister of Chris' grandfather
Sherman Royce.  Ralph was her husband.

The La Dukes are in a side hallway to the right (east) of the central hallway
near the entrance to the Iris Terrace at Elevation 24, and are 2 from the right edge,
5 up from the bottom. 

The LaDukes had no children.  They were married on 2 December 1916, probably
in Colorado. The Royce's were living in Denver at the time and the 1920 census
lists Eunice and Ralph as being married and living in Denver, CO.  By 1920 they
had moved to Los Angeles, CA.

Eunice grew up in Colorado, where she was born, however, Ralph had moved
around quite a bit.  He was born in Massachusetts in 1896.  By the age of 4 he
was living as a "boarder," probably in foster care in Somerville, Middlesex Co.,
MA.  At the time of the 1910 census he was a 14-year old boarder living in
Danbury, NH.  By 1920 he was in Colorado and then in Los Angeles, CA by
1930.
