Answer 2

His page on FindaGrave says his parents were Roy Shook and Pearl Miller.

His obituary at Pulliam Funeral Home says the same thing.

This 1930 Census shows Roy Shook and Pearl living in Robinson, Crawford, Illinois just 3 years before Argo's birth in the same place.

Here is a 1900 Census for Granville, Jasper, Ill that needs further investigation.  It shows possible parents of Roy to Francis F. Shook and Emma J.
