• Notes

  William Alvin Hutchinson moved from Cowards, South Carolina, to Columbia, South Carolina, about 1915. Alvin had been a superb sharecropper in tobacco and when farming became unprofitable he moved to Columbia to gain employment as a laborer in the textile mill. Mildred was about four years old when the family made the move. William Alvin later became a foreman in Mount Vernon Mill, Columbia, SC and was known for his honesty and fairness. He was a frugal man who managed to earn the respect of his family and friends. He was a God-fearing man, deacon in the First Baptist Church of West Columbia, SC and a gentleman. He came from humble roots but was proud and not afraid of hard work. [9]
