    Spouse's Age 20

    In 1930 at the time of the census, she and Alfonso (spelled Afonso in the census) are living right on the White River.  The census location states: "No Road, on White River."  Al and Harriett's reported age in the census  is the same age reported as their age at marriage.  But notice that the age actually reprote don the marriage record is different for Al.  At the time of the marriage, he reported his age as 21, but reported to the enumerator that he was married at age 22.

    Alfonso's  occupation is reported as Shelling, mussels.  Harriett's brother Mack Criswell, who lives a few houses down, is reported as a  digger of mussels.  A neighbor of Mack is also a mussel digger.  Perhaps they worked together, with the two digging and Al shelling, perhaps with a larger work crew.  There are several diggers on this page, but Al is the only sheller.

    Next to Mack and his new wife Louie McSwain, is Alfonso's father Leonard, with his daughter Loisa (Louisa?).  Leonard makes his living as a fisherman.
