Raymond's Father, Elza Bernard (or any number of variations thereof) MEADE(E), is listed under SEVERAL different surnames by his biological Mother, Nancy Catharine Swallows in different census records. Initially, before realizing that Nancy had at least eight different children by, perhaps as many different biological fathers, it was almost impossible to trace the geneoalogy of her children.
The surname on this child's marker is Tice, because, at the time of his death, that was the name that Raymond's father, Elza, was using as a surname. The TRUE name for this child is Raymond Meade.
Nancy Catharine Swallows, at the very least, informed her children, of their biological fathers' real identitys before they were married as the names are found (one by one, that is) on their marriage certificates.
