Lon Piland / Believe from Indiana
Kristine Jones 6/02/03
In the 1920 census for Indiana, Marion, Indianapolis, ED# 182, page 90, they spell his name "Piland". he is listed as stepson, age 18. All three birthplaces for Lon - self, father, mother - are Kentucky. His middle initial looks like an "E", but that is a guess.
He is on the SSDI:

If it is worth $27 to you,the SSA will sell you a copy of his SSN application. He filled it out when he was alive. It might have his father's name; it might not. Most do, but if his biological father died when Lon was young and his mother never talked about him, young Lon may not have known.
