- Ervil LeBaron was born on February 22, 1925 in Mexico to Alma Dayer LeBaron and Maude McDonald. The family lived in Mexico because they practiced polygamy for a short time. Ervil was one of several brothers including Florian, Alma, Verlan, and Joel.
After their father died in the early 1950s the brothers started an offshoot of the LDS church with Joel the prophet and the other brothers having various roles in the church. Ervil was a recruiter trying to convince people to join the new religion.
As the years went on things started to sour between Ervil and Joel mostly due to Ervils unbalanced "teachings" and Joel kicked Ervil out of the church. Ervil didn't like that and decided to get him back. One of his first steps was to use his followers to kill Joel. In 1972 he had some of his top supposed get Joel to a house beat him and then shot him. Joels step son witnessed it. There were many other killings that happened under his watch including that of his daughter who wanted to leave her husband. One night in the mid 1970s he decided to ambush Joels supporters and fire bombed and shot up many houses including those of his brother Verlan whom he said he was going to kill that night. In 1979 he was apprehended, but the charges didn't stick. Later he was re arrested, but in August 1981 just days before the death of his brother Verlan he died of a heart attack in jail. In all he had 13 wives and over 50 children. - John Reese was born on 18 December 1910 in Nebraska, USA.
