Notes:

Worked for the Great Northern Railway all his life was a switchman in the yards at Hillyard 7 days a week. I believe that he started working for railroad at Kettle Falls Washington and then moved to Hillyard. Walter Poole (my dad remembers living in Kettle falls and living close to the river which is quite different then itis now) Tried to be a farmer part time so he always seemed to have a small farm somewhere close to Spokane. He owned a Star Roadster which he took the wheels off in the wintertime and put it up on blocks till spring. Later in life he would have a Chev Coupe which he tore the back off of it and made a pickup truck out of it, till it quit running and he would get another one.

I remember seeing him in Hillyard when I was small and he would play the Harmonica and dance a jig in the street ( sounds like a musical movie but things were different then really it is hard to believe I also remember he was put in jail quite often and my dad would have to go get him out but no one thought much about it seemed to be a common occurrence in Hillyard at that time he had a friend who was the engineer of the switch engine his name was Chief Campbell (who was the father of Evelyn Campbell Poole wife of Raymond Poole) Th main problem they had was that of getting drunk in the beer parlors in Hillyard and then getting in trouble and go to Jail this was not a real problem because as I said before common occurrence and no one thought much about it. when he was in jail no one seemed to be concerned but when my other Grandpa Burt Hanson was put in jail it was a real tragedy and everyone was excited and grandma cried and my dad had to get him out as soon as possible because Burt could not spend the night in Jail. He (Sam Pool) was always referred to as the ‘Old Man’. He had a large metal bathtub which was him and he would take a bath on the back porch in it the houses did not have a bathroom but I remember the tub was his and no one touched it. Sam and his wife Anna got a divorce and he moved out I do not remember the date but after that he had girlfriends and one that I remember really well was named Ruby.

Samuel married Anna Kristina “Annie” CHRISTIANSON on 5 Dec 1900 in Williston, Williams, North Dakota, United States. Anna (daughter of Adrian CHRISTENSON and Breta Calarina OLSDATTEN) was born on 27 May 1878 in Negaunee, Marquette, Michigan, United States; died on 3 Jun 1958 in Spokane, Spokane, Washington, United States; was buried in 1958 in Fairmount Memorial Park, Spokane, Spokane, Washington, United States.
