SANDY, b abt 1894 and his wife, Della SANDY, b abt 1894 with a family of 7 children. Several of Warren's siblings names are listed on the census, and reading the hand writing on the census is difficult. Ancestry.com has this listing for the children of Harley and Della SANDY. Kenneth b abt 1912, Howard b abt 1917, Lucille b abt 1919, Galen b abt 1921, Wamtter b abt 1924, Mayer b abt 1928 and Marie b abt 1919. My belief, is that the person listed as Galen is actually Glen (or Warren Glen) SANDY. In looking at the actual census copy, it looks like a G len (space between the G and L) and could have been interpeted as Galen.
