Our grandfather, Tilden, and his twin brother, Hendrix, were born on August 24, 1876. He and Effie Roberta Hutt were married on Nov. 7, 1906. Tilden was named after Samuel Jones Tilden, a governor of New York and presidential nominee in 1876. Growing up, it was his responsibility or "job" to hunt for the family and, when older, belonged to a hunt club. He was a captain of a dredge. He worked for the Navy Yard in Charleston, South Carolina for about four years. (In this photo, Tilden is the man sitting.)
