Leonard is not mentioned in Charlotte's 2020 obit.  However, this is the Charlotte L Carico that signed his Military Headstone Application in 1968.  On her son Phillip Edward Stanley's 1971 VA marriage license, he gives his mother's name as Charlotte L Carico.  In 1974, Charlotte's brother died in El Paso, TX.  Her name at the time was Charlotte Carico.

1889



1890

Birth records for twins Edward and Charles Carico

Of note:  One record is for 1889 and the other is for 1890.  Based on the dates of the historical documents for Edward and the grave markers for both, I believe the correct year is 1889.  And then again, this could be wrong.  The only way to know for sure would be the missing 1890 Census.  If they were in it, they were born in 1889.

Select the image to see a larger version
  The middle name for Charles on one of the Birth Record pages is McCoy.  The grave marker for Charles has W.  Some family trees have Wayne as the middle name and his death date as Nov 11, 1900.  Where the name Wayne came from or the death date, is not documented.

Since Charles did appear in the 1900 Census, taken on Jun 1, 1900, he did die after Jun 1, 1900

What you do not find for John, who went by Walter, is a Walter or John Carico/Carrico in the 1940 or 1950 Census that matches this John Walter Carico.  Also, there is no WWII Registration for him.  No Social Security Registration or Death Index for him.  I suspect he may have died before the 1940 Census.
