  Sam is on a whole page of lodgers in several boarding houses on thispage.  Note that he is reported as Married, but no wife is with him.At Sam's death just 3 months later, he is reported as widowed.  Also Ifound that Ancestry inexplicably reports his birth place as PuertoRico!  There is no one on this whole page who is reported as born inPuerto Rico!  Sam's record actually says only United States.
