Two years after his father died in 1909, Walter Hayter left
Purleigh, England, for the United States. He was 22 years
old and felt a responsibility to help his mother and 12
brothers and sisters. Shortly after his arrival in America,
he found work on a Michigan farm. In a matter of
months, he was able to send for three of his sisters and
one brother, all of whom became ill during their voyage
and recuperated in Ellis Island's contagious disease
hospital. Eventually, the entire Hayter family, except the
oldest son, settled in America.
