Walter C. Haden, age 33. Gave same birth places as in 1920. He was still a Cook, but now in the Coast Guard.

I found son Arnold, age 11, in Ramapo, Rockland Co NY. He was living at the Kingston School in Spring Valley. He was listed as born in New York, father born in Texas, mother born in Canada. The school was listed as an institution and the previous entry in this census was for the County Home. Kingston may have been an orphanage.
Found in a mail list post:
In the 1930 Census there is one Enumeration District set aside for the
following "Ramapo Town (Part), excluding Spring Valley Village
Bounded by: (N) Spring Valley Rd., New Hempstead Rd., Eckerson Rd.; (E) Town
Line; (S) State Line; (W) Cherry Ln., Tallman Rd.

Hi Kay,
Was just browsing your site and noticed that you had a date of death wrong for James Robert Haden, son of Walter C. Haden
James died on July 10, 1991, not the 20th. I have confirmed this date with the powers that be in Indian Springs, NV.
Also his son died last year, My Brother in Law, - James August Haden 08/26/68 Los Angeles, CA - 11/03/09, He passed away in San Jacinto, Riverside County CA and was cremated. He had 4 children.
He died of a massive seizure that was caused my a Traumatic Brain injury he suffered when he got hit by a car in 2003.
Best Wishes,
