His first wife was Arlene Wilkins. Roy said, Don't ever believe anyone who tries to convince you there's no such thing as love at first sight. After they were married Roy had done 13 films for Republic, it was 1941 he was entertaining at a Orphanage in Louisville, Kentucky he went and called his wife Arlene and told her they should adopt a child, when Roy was on his way back he stopped in Republic Pictures Exchange in Dallas Texas, he asked Bob Donnell and Bill Underwood if they knew where he could adopt a child. They said, you came to the right place, we are on the board of directors of Hope Cottage, a home for orphaned and abandoned children. There were forty-two babies, they got to about the fifth bed, where Roy found Cheryl, he called his wife and told her. They picked her up about 4 months later after being approved to adopt. In 1942 Roy legally changed his name from Leonard Slye to Roy Rogers. Also in 1942 Arlene was finally pregnant, they had a daughter on April 18, 1943. Her name was Linda Lou. Arlene then gave birth to Roy's son on October 28, 1946. His name would be Roy Rogers Junior, who was known as Dusty. Six days after the birth Roy received a call from the hospital and he rushed to his wife's side, minutes after his arrival she passed away. When his long time friend and manager Art Rush arrived in the parking lot, he found Roy standing next to his car with tears in his eyes signing Autographs. Quote "Such was the mettle of the King of the Cowboys. He married Dale Evans later. This information can be found in the book called The Story of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Happy Trails with Carlton Stowers. This is a wonderful book.
