content: Hilario Samson Cuevas was born on January 14, 1900 in Larena, Siquijor, Philippines. At the age of twenty-six, according to a Washington state passenger and crew list, Cuevas arrived at the port of Seattle, Washington aboard the S. S. President McKinley from Manila, Philippines in May 1926. Information relating to his initial settlement or early occupation in the United States could not be found. On February 14, 1942, Cuevas registered for the World War II draft stating that he lived in California and was employed at Mare Island, a shipyard in Vallejo. City directories for 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1950 documented his home residence at 203 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, California, where he worked as a laborer. During this time Cuevas was a member of the Daguhoy Lodge of the Legionarios del Trabajo with his closest relative, Julio Samson, who also lives at the same residence in California.
