BASIC FACTS

Schreiber Lucian Oakley was born on 22 February 1905 in Pittsfield, Pike Co., Illinois.2,3,4 He was born on 23 February 1905 in Pittsfield, Pike Co., Illinois.5 He died on 27 May 1954, at age 49, in Beaumont, Jefferson Co., Texas.6,7 He was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Beaumont, Jefferson Co., Texas.3
Schreiber Lucian Oakley was also known as Schrieber Lawrence Oakley.8,2,9,6,3 He had reference number 49237. He was enumerated on the census in Pike County, Illinois (1920); Dallas County, Texas (1940.) He was a Director - amusement company (1940); vice president-general manager Jefferson Amusement Company and vice-president and general manager of the East Texas Theatres, Inc. (1947 - death certificate and obituary.)9,10,4,7 He resided in Beaumont, Jefferson Co., Texas (1945, 1947.)10,4 Schrieber Lawrence Oakley was born four years before Clarence and Leota were married. It is my guess that Samuel S. DeVault, shown in the 1910 Census and listed as a grandson of Elbert and Sarah, is Leota's son from an earlier relationship. I think that Schrieber Oakley and Samuel S. DeVault are one and the same.
Schrieber Oakley was in West Palm Beach in 1925 affiliated with Oakley Bros. Theater. The theater was owned by his step-father, Clarence Eber Oakley and Clarence's brother, Lucien Oakley.
