Raymond had some problems with drunkenness, vagrancy, and lawlessness. He died in Chicago at age 40, apparently single. See the attached articles.

I’m guessing that “Roy” was “Ray” since there is no other mention of a Bredimus in Des Moines named Roy.

The article about Raymond’s death mentions Morris for more confirmation.

Nancy said Raymond was called “the black sheep of the family” by our Grandparents. They never explained why. She also remembers Maurice being called Uncle Morris.
