Looking for information on Roy Sample, mentioned in my grandmothers notes on her family:

"Roy Sample was killed. He was shot, I believe.He was quite a wealthy man. He had several theatres in Casper, Wyoming. I really never knew about his death.
Roy Sample and his wife, Maria, never had children. He too was medium build and short; not dark like his father and fair complexion."

Roy Sample may have had gang connections. He was killed in his twenties. Grandma last saw him in Denver while she was in nursing school.

Roy was the son of William Atlas Sample and his second wife. He (Roy) was born perhaps around 1870-1880. I have not been able to find census records to verify the ages of William's children. William had three children with his first wife: Julia, Rena, and Walter. He had four children with his second wife: Eva, Leah, May and Roy.

I have hit a total dead end on this line.... just try searching for "Sample" in any genealogy forum and you'll understand why... it brings up samples of genealogies!

Thanks for any help!
