Their children now are: Charles Thomas Hill (age 17) Anna M. who is 16 William R. who is 13 Not yet in his teens is brother Wallace H. Hill, who is 11 (Note that Wallace was listed as Henry W. Hill in the 1910 census) And, a new son, Robert V. Hill (born DC) is now in the household at just 2 years and 5 months. Ah, a house with teens and a terrible two! Thomas D. Hill is working now as a "laborer" at the Navy Yard. Charles Thomas Hill at age 17 is working as a Apprentice Buffer at the Navy Yard. Anna M. Hill is a Clerk for the Red Cross. Note: August 20, 1920 an infant born to Thomas Domick and Anna Gertrude Hill was buried at Congressional Cemetery (see internment chart at bottom of page)

Their son Charles is 27, born in DC, and living with his parents though he is married, having married at 21?, he is a gang leader for the railroad. Their son Wallace is 21, born in DC, and is also married, at age 20; working as a garage mechanic. Their wives names are not listed. Humm...wonder where they are. Any ideas? Also living in their home is their son Robert V. Hill, who is 12 years old (b. 1917) and single. Note: He is listed at the top of the next census page and therefore captured in a separate image herein.
