The 1950 census lists Sylvan as a gardener at a private residence. He and Ellen lived in Bayou La Croix across the street from Ellen's father, George Henry Wainwright.
A notable event in Sylvan and Lillian's life was their 50th wedding anniversary. They celebrated on May 22nd, 1962. The newspaper carried a short article describing the event:
