Misc:
He was a US Navy Captain who died in Scotland while serving as Commanding Officer of USS Black Hawk (a tender) and
Commander of all mine sweeping in the North Sea after World War I. He was killed in an auto accident that occurred on 4
August

1919 and died on 5 August on board the Black Hawk, and was to be interred at Washington DC. (not in Arlington National
Cemetery per call 12/28/01) He was an "aid to President Roosevelt" in 1905 when stationed in Washington D.C. per the
Washington Post article. The Virginia City Chronicle article says he was "personal aid to the president and only recently he was
presented to King George [the?] of England and others interested in clearing the North Sea of mines." He was
United States naval representative at a conference which met at the British Admiralty to consider clearing the seas of mines after
World War I and on 5 January 1919 he assumed command of that operation. His zeal and courage, combined with a
sound knowledge of his profession, contributed greatly to the success of the mine force. His home at the time of this death was
1302 Eighteenth St NW, Washington DC
Alice Phillis Anderson: I was a little kid. When they visited, we had to get all shieked up. Aunt Allie would get the dining room all
laid out with their best stuff. Even at my age I could see they were drinkers from the bloated look to

him. I remember his rank as Lieutenant Commander.
Raised by Bessie as mother died young (not sure I agree with this as his mother seems to have still been alive per the wording of
the Washington Post article: i.e., they didn't say "the late" Jane Anderson Bulmer as they did for his wife's

father. However, the Virginia City article does not mention her in any way which could mean she had died.)
He was born in 1875, the same year that Virginia City burned. Over 2000 buildings were destroyed, although the city was rebuilt
within a year. So, his parents most likely lived through the fire. When did they arrive in Virginia city? Why

did they come? The Comstock Lode was in its hey-day. Did they come hoping for wealth?
