Seniors in U. S. Service I
When the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the United States
Constitution were hauled in a wagon
from the State Department to the
Library of Congress on September
30, 1921, the event constituted the
biggest thrill ih the 46-year Govern
ment career of Samuel M. Croft,
chief of the Library’s mail and de
livery division,
“It was kept very quiet,” he mused.
“The priceless documents were
hauled in our wagon, since we had
no automobile then. There was a
motorcycle escort, but no armed
guards were in the wagon, as best
as I can recall. I remember that
our librarian emeritus, Mr Herbert
Putnam, signed for it. No time was
lost in transferring these documents,
inasmuch as the executive order
directing the transfer was not signed
until September 29, 1921.”
Through Mr. Croft’s division pass

times amounting to 1,000,000 pieces
each year. He helped remove his
torical papers from the Georgetown
home of Robert Lincoln, son of
Abraham Lincoln ,.. “He showed us
about the house, but talked very
little about his famous father.”
Mr. Croft, dean of Library em

been a lay preacher of the Metho
dist Church for 35 years, and is
secretary of the Gospel Mission of

people, lead a temperate, active
