Roy O. Disney
Roy Oliver Disney (June 24, 1893 – December 20, 1971) was an American businessman, becoming the partner and co-founder, along with his younger brother Walt Disney, of Walt Disney Productions, since renamed The Walt Disney Company.
==Early life==
Roy was born to Irish-Canadian Elias Disney and English-German-American Flora Call Disney in Chicago, Illinois. On July 1, 1911, Elias purchased a newspaper delivery route for ''The Kansas City Star''. It extended from Twenty-seventh Street to the Thirty-first Street, and from Prospect Avenue to Indiana Avenue. Roy and Walt were put to work delivering the newspapers. The Disneys delivered the morning newspaper ''Kansas City Times'' to about 700 customers, and the evening and Sunday ''Star'' to more than 600. The number of customers served increased with time.〔Barrier (2007), p. 18-19〕
Roy graduated from the Manual Training High School of Kansas City in 1912. He left the paper delivery route and worked on a farm over the summer. He then found employment as a bank clerk at the First National Bank of Kansas City.〔Barrier (2007), p. 18-19〕
Roy served in the United States Navy from 1917–1919. A year later his brother Walt tried joining the US Army. He was refused due to being under age. After Roy contracted tuberculosis, he was discharged from military duty and became a banker in Los Angeles. In 1923 Walt moved to Hollywood, joined Roy, and founded Disney Bros Studio with Roy. The brothers ordered and built kit houses from Pacific Ready Cut Homes (a Los Angeles company) and, in 1928, they built their homes side by side on Lyric Avenue. Their homes were slightly customized and enlarged, so they do not exactly match the original homes featured in the Pacific Ready Cut Homes catalogs.
