Title:

Sam Tamura trims a hedge on the eight-acre estate of his employer in the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio, while his nine-year-old son, Eddie, looks on. Sam takes care of the grounds and garden, and Mrs. Tamura works in the house. The Tamuras came to the United States in 1916, operated a vineyard near Sacramento before evacuation, and were one of the first Issei families to leave the Jerome, Arkansas, Relocation Center for outside jobs. Two other sons joined them in Cincinnati in June with the intention of finding jobs as automobile mechanics. -- Cincinnati, Ohio. 6/?/43
