Samuel L. Hayden #112
The 1910 census has Samuel living with his parents at age 2. He's living at 435 Wilkes Street, Alexandria, VA. Went with his father to saloons and sang and danced for money. The 1920 Alexandria City Census has Luther living with his grandparents, William A. and Julia Shinn. He's 12 years old and can read and write. Per JHT, worked at Smoot Sand & Gravel. Hauled Gravel up and down the river on a tug boat. Also played Santa with green gloves in parade each year.
Luther worked on the tug boats and drove them. He took JHT on one of the boats once and let him look through the telescope. Luther almost drowned himself once by jumping through a barrel that had nails in it. He almost didn't get out. Luther worked on a dredge machine as a cook. This was when Lucille Hayden was staying with Thelma.
