Misc. Notes
There are 2 Findagrave memorials for Leonard. As far as I can tell, the “correct” one is the one naming Woodlawn Cemetery as the grave site. The other one references the site where his first wife, Lillian, was buried, and that gravestone even has his name on it but without a death date. The memorial naming Woodlawn Cemetery does not currently have a photo of the grave (as of 09-SEP-2020). [1498, MEMORIAL# 46180403]

Speculation: possibly met Lillian BRINSTAD while both were working at Trane Co. [8029] [8036]

Misc. Notes
It has not yet been established whether the spelling “HYER” is the true spelling on the birth record. Only indexes have been consulted; online images are not currently available (as of 08-SEP-2020). Her father’s name was clearly “HEYER” in the documents found with his name.

Lillian’s parents were born in Minnesota, according to the 1930 census. [2049]

In 1930, Lillian and Robert had a live-in servant named Agnes COOK.

Her gravestone lists both Leonard and Lillian McCORD, but the inscription for Leonard has no death year. He was buried in a different cemetery (and his 2nd wife in yet another cemetery). [1498, MEMORIAL# 46180417]
