The 1900 census has Lucy and William living in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland. They have been married 8 years, and have 3 children. Williams’s son from a previous marriage is living with them. Apparently William’s first wife had died.

William died November 7th 1904 from a work related accident, he was 48, leaving Lucy with 3 children under the age of 10. William is buried in Congressional Cemetery, Washington DC.

By 1910 Lucy has moved her family back to Washington, DC. In July 1916 Lucy married John S. Hutchins, son of Richard Hutchins and Sarah Bradburn, in Washington DC, he was 47, Lucy was 44, both were widows.

John is working as a switchman for the railroad and Lucy is a homemaker in 1920. John died between the 1920 census and the 1924 City Directory where Lucy is listed as the widow of John, living at 509 Kentucky Ave SE.

The 1930 and 1940 census show Lucy at the same address with her son Lawrence supporting her. Her daughter, Ruth Kendrick is living next door.

Lucy died August 14th 1957, at the age of 85, in Washington DC. She is buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Suitland, Maryland
