  • Notes 
    • After graduating high school, Linnie went as a waitress to Camp Devans, Massachusetts with friends who opened a small restaurant in the guest house for the convenience of visitors to the Army base. Her friends removed to Ft. Ethan Allen, Vermont, and Linnie went with them, but worked at the Roof Garden in Burlington, Vermont. While there she me Leon Wallace, who was near the end of his "hitch" in the Army. The headwaiter at the Roof Garden went to Nassau, Bahama Islands, taking some of his waitresses with him, Linnie among them. When she returned Leon was out of the Army and they were married. Four months after the twins were born, her marriage now a disaster, Linnie -- a suitcase in each hand, a twin under each arm and Kenneth hanging on as bes he could -- took the State of Maine Express to Portland, where they were met by her parents. The children lived with their grandparents and Linnie went back to New York to find employment to support her children. As her sons grew to high school age, they left the grandparents home and lived with their mother, who bought a two-family house in Jackson Heights, Long Island, New York, and lived there until her marriage to Jacob Luthe, at which time she retired from her job, sold her house and moved to Bellerose.
