He lives a lie, why wouldn't he tell them?

You're right, he's almost as bad as that funny little dude in Rome who claims to be the vicar of christ.

for what it's worth, i consulted the 1940 census and there's an Arthur Patton in SLC, about 2 years older than Monson and living about a block away from him.

Monson, 311 W 500 S
George S Monson M 38
Gladus M Monson F 37
Gladys Monson F 16
Thomas Monson M 12
Robert Monson M 7

Lewis O Patton M 57
Terese Patton F 45
Louis Patton M 17
Walter R Patton M 16
Arthur F Patton M 14
Doris M Patton F 11
