1918 - In 1918 when his father died he was living in San Francisco, California.
420,811920 - In 1920 his mother's obituary stated that he was living in San Francisco, Calilfornia.
424 But in a letter he wrote to his family in 1938, he said he lost an eye in a snow storm in Canada in 1920. So I'm not really sure where he was living at this time.
1938 - In 1938 he wrote a letter to the “Some of the family of Crit Hall in Knob Noster, MO.” The late Mrs. Covey had been the former Lucy Ann Hall, brother of long-dead Crit (C.C. Hall, Christopher Crittendon Hall). The letter was given to Crit Covey’s brother Jenks. The letter covered his life for the past 50 years. Crit Covey was living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at the time. In the letter, he said that he had lost an eye during a snow storm in Canada in 1920.
423 1939, November 14th - Niece, Elizabeth Ann Covey, wrote him back in 1939. I have a copy of his return. Mom apparently asked him to send her leaves for a school project. He took some time to reply as he had asked someone up north to bring some special leaves so he could send them to her. The first set of leaves he had friends get for him were lost when the boat sank at Larg Rock. He gave his address as Cambie Rooms, 160 Cambie St. Vancouver, British Columbia (Date 14 Nov 1939).
