Notes |
- He was convicted of burglary in the first degree, then incarcerated at San Quentin Prison, Solano County, CA, Dec 31, 1912 for a term of 5 years. He was a teamster, 6'1" tall. He was paroled Apr 9, 1915 and discharged Jul 31, 1916.
"...he and his family had a very , very hard life due to a very lazy father (Solomon) who I believe probably had a drinking problem. He refused to work and support his family and eventually walked out on them. Alice (Dyke) filed for a divorced on grounds of desertion and non support and he was ordered to pay her $3 a week. He didn't pay it and was thrown in jail. Once he got out, he left the county and moved to Michigan City, IN where he did work but never let his family know where he was and never sent support to Alice." June Beckwith (1/3/16)
