He and Nannie had been married for about four years. Nannie had given birth to one child and he was living. Three children were enumerated with the couple in 1900. Their son, Maurice, spelled "Morris" by the census taker, was 3 years old, and Riley's two older children from his first marriage, Annie and Thomas, were ages 9 and 8 years, respectively. Neither of the two older children had attended school within the census year. Riley's younger son George from his first marriage was enumerated with his paternal grandparents, Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy in Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky. George was 6 years old.2 
Census US 1910*27 April 1910Nannie and William R. Eudy were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 27 April 1910 in Justice Precinct 1, Mitchell County, Texas. William was 39 years of age and worked as a laborer doing odd jobs, and Nannie was 33 years of age.

Eudy, at 313 E. 21st Street, Cisco, Eastland County, Texas. William was 58 years of age and worked as a lineman for the telephone company, and Nannie was 53 years of age.6 
(Mother) Arrested and Charged13 November 1938Her son J. M., also known as Pete, surrendered to police after his friends, L. L. Powell, 25, and Rex Holt, 24, both residents of Cisco, were arrested on 13 November 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas, and charged with automobile theft and armed robbery of a service station. Pete Eudy had left the car a few minutes before Powell and Holt were arrested and knew he was being sought in connection with the crime. The two men initially in custody readily admitted their part in the robbery, blaming whisky for their complicity. The men had stolen the car in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas and driven it to Stamford, in Jones County, Texas where they committed the robbery, then were apprehended with the car in Fort Worth.7,8,9,10,11 
(Mother) Criminal Conviction30 January 1939At her son's trial on 30 January 1939 in District Court, Anson, Jones County, Texas, J. M. Eudy, 42, pleaded guilty to the 13 November armed robbery of a filling station in west Stamford and blamed his entanglement with the law on his two companions. Eudy told the court he had a wife and seven children and had understood he was accepting a ride to Fort Worth when he left his home with Rexford Holt and L. L. Powell. Those two men, the newspaper wrote, were currently in jail in default of bond, pending trial in connection with the same robbery.

Subsequently, Eudy testified, he was informed the automobile in which he rode was stolen. He said his companions told him they were bound not for Fort Worth but El Paso, where a market assertedly awaited the car. Eudy said they drove a circuitous route to Stamford where a filing station was robbed, and then fled, but not to El Paso. The trio drove to Oklahoma City, failed to sell the automobile because they were without proper papers, then finally went to Fort Worth. He said he left his companions only 15 minutes before their arrest and later surrendered "to face the music."

The jury, which was required in a trial on a capital offense even when the plea was guilty, sentenced Eudy to five years in state prison.7,8,9,10,11

Several articles appeared in Salt Lake City and neighboring newspapers reporting the accident and his death. Duffin was a locomotive engineer for the Oregon Short Line when his train collided with an automobile trailer truck loaded with gasoline. The collision near Bountiful, Utah sent a spray of burning gasoline into the engine cab of the train, igniting the clothing of both Duffin and the fireman who leaped to safety under orders from Duffin. Duffin, however, remained with his train until it stopped half a mile away, his actions believed to have saved the lives of passengers. Leonard Duffin died of his very severe burns in the hospital two days after the accident.1,4 
Burial*He was buried in Plot Gilcrest Park 719-1-E, of Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, Millcreek, Salt Lake County, Utah.1
