POSSIBLE MATCH - REQUIRES FURTHER RESEARCH

George CHANEY is the son of Frank CHANEY (b. Apr 1852 in Ohio, a barber) and Emma CHANEY (b. Oct 1854 in Kansas). George was born June 1893 in Colorado and is 7 years old. His siblings are Carrie (b. Dec 1879) and Leonard (b. Apr 1883). The family lives at 521 E. Boulder.

If this match is correct, then George CHANEY was the brother of Lon CHANEY, the silent movie star known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces," most notable for his role in the 1925 screen version of The Phantom of the Opera.
