• Notes

  The 1930 US Census [Sheet No 1-B, line 74] shows Charles living at the State Custodial School at Medical Lake, Spokane, Washington. He is 12 years old, unable to read or write, receiving no education. It is not known what his diagnosis was. A search for information about the State Custodial School found the following on a under the heading History - 1905: "A second school for children with more severe mental retardation was opened in 1905 in Medical Lake, adjacent to Eastern State Hospital. This school, called the State Institution for the Feeble Minded, cared for young people up to the age of 21." and under History - 1933: "New Superintendent of School for Retarded brings humane reforms to neglected institution. The Custodial School (previously named the State Institution for the Feeble Minded), which had suffered from overcrowding and neglect, turned over a new leaf under the leadership of Charles A. Parker, a former Tacoma elementary school principal. He raised professional standards, started sports teams, a music program, and Scout troops. He also helped persuade the legislature to build two additional wards and a gymnasium."
