    Roy is usually referred to by initial J T L Tugmon (sometimes Tugman).  The 1930 census has his name as James T Tugman.

    Steve Robertson's genealogy has the full name, but spelled Leroy as LaRoy, the only place I have seen it spelled that way.  I have not seen a family record to confirm this spelling.

    From his wife Josephine Dobkins Welch's obituary:

    Josephine Mary (Dobkins) Welch Tugmon
    Birth Apr 14, 1916 Oklahoma
    Death Sep 9, 2005 Midwest City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma
    ... She lived in the Marlow area most of her life.  She married Thomas Jefferson Welch on Dec 9, 1933, in Marlow.  He preceded her in death on Feb. 10, 1956.  Josephine later married Leroy “Roy” Tugmon on June 1, 1968, in Duncan.  He also preceded her in death on July 26, 1979 ....

    Several Tugmons are buried in the Duncan cemetery.  There is one J T L Roy Tugmon, that appears to be our same Leroy, buried in a joint grave with what would be his first wife Mollie G, who died in 1964.  Leroy (Roy) Tugmon married Josephine Dobkins Welch in 1968.  The 1940 census above reports what appears to be his father Edward as a widower next door to him.

    His first wife's memorial has a photo of their joint gravestone.

    The date of death on the gravestone for JTL Roy Tugmon is July 26, 1980, while that reported in his wife Josephine's obituary is 26 July 1979.  Actually, this type of error is not unusual in gravestones, unfortunately.

    The Tugman name was originally spelled Tugmon, but apparently Lucy Gregory Tugman changed the spelling.  Her children use the spelling Tugman.
