I also have some what are possibly Soroptimist Club photos from a party. <br /><br />I am not sold on this Alfred "Hank" Walther being their son. There are so many photos..there would seem to be one of him. I do have a few photos of an older boy..he could be a nephew? <br /><br />Thanks Iggy.Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-91095599152714334982014-01-24T08:37:44.738-06:002014-01-24T08:37:44.738-06:00Henry "Hank" Walter has eluded my search...Henry "Hank" Walter has eluded my searches - and so does Martha. I cannot determine where they came from, nor how Edna "Eddie" met him. However... some fragments:<br /><br />Edna worked at the Farm Labor Board in Gardena and is mentioned in the Torrance newspapers looking for people that wanted to work seasonal harvests.<br /><br />This newspaper article shows some "ill waters":<br /><br />http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2245&dat=19590729&id=zYozAAAAIBAJ&sjid=v-4HAAAAIBAJ&pg=3379,1866549<br /><br />Edna was also a member and president of the local Soroptimist Club:<br /><br />http://www.torranceca.gov/archivednewspapers/Herald/1956%20Dec%202%20-%201957%20April%2028/PDF/00001016.pdf<br /><br />In one reference to her - she was in Hawaii. Now... back in the late 1940's and 50's, Hawaii was not yet a state and therefore not in the Censuses. I suspect she and Henry "Hank" may have lived there - and that is why I can't "find him" in the Censuses. I found a "Alfred "Hank" Walther" JR(?) living on the big island (he recently passed away) - this might be ... Edna's son? Its not clear when Edna and Hank married. It seems they arrived in California in 1951-2 - but from where?<br /><br />"ALFRED "HANK" WALTHER, 58, of Hawaiian Paradise Park, died June 9, 2005. Born in Cleveland, Ohio. A self employed framer. A U.S. Army veteran." That would place his DOB as 1947 which is "possible". His being born in Ohio would seem to work also.<br /><br />But no proof of any of this....<br /><br />Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-58186338086583060512014-01-24T05:20:06.714-06:002014-01-24T05:20:06.714-06:00
