FOLLOWUP

Thomas' middle name may have been Harrison and he may have been born 16 Jun 1880 in St. James, Missouri and died 20 Oct 1941 in Lincoln Nebraska. [research-a-spear-family-history]

Leland's birth may be supported by a tiny piece in the 13 Oct 1920 edition of the Evening State Journal (in the Newspaper.com database entry Lincoln Journal Star) of Lincoln, Nebraska, on page 12, colunn 4, under "The Birth Record."
