Adella Grace Scott Scribner ... 1930s
1930
1930 Census, Franklin NH. This is a different thing, but quite understandable. Adella is at the same address (listed as 17 East High Street), but with Albert and Gertrude Scribner Manuel as the head. Another interesting thing is the Schlagel family is renting the same space. The property may have been a duplex sort of thing?Anyway, The High Street address is considered a farm.

By the spring of 1933, working class and rural Americans were tightly in the grip of the Great Depression. Forty percent of the nation's banks failed between 1929 and 1933, and almost 4-million manufacturing jobs were lost as consumption and production became locked in a downward spiral. The first "New Deal" created by President Franklin Roosevelt and his cabinet was aimed at providing relief and recovery to those hit hardest by the depressed economy. A farmer wrote in her diary in 1933 about the impact of the "New Deal" in rural areas: "Well, the national farm strike ... set for May 13 has been postponed, for which we are all thankful. They came to that decision after Roosevelt signed the farm bill, which makes it possible for the loan companies to refinance mortgages. ... Well, it gives us more courage to go on. We had about given up ever trying to keep up anymore." (Ancestry Historical Insights, 2018).
