Adella Grace Scott Scribner ... 1940s
1940
1940 Census, 1 April 1940. Widowed, living with daughter Gertrude in Franklin, Merrimack NH, address is the same as it has always been. 17 (or 19) East High Street. Again, Elizabeth Schlagel is renting the same address. I find it interesting that Adella's husband's first name was Morrell. Next door is a family by the last name Morrell. I suspect they are distant cousins, since boys were often named with the mother's or grandmother's maiden name. This is also the proof we have for the 1935 address listed in the previous post.

When soldiers shipped off, women were left to manage the home front with men who weren't eligible to serve in the military. Daily life was challenging as families prepared for attacks on American soil and rationed food and common supplies to support the war effort. As factories pushed to keep up with skyrocketing demand and with male bodies in short supply, women entered the workforce in record numbers. Before the Allied victory was celebrated in 1945, nearly 420,000 Americans gave their lives (Ancestry Historical Insights, 2018).

As World War II raged on across Europe and Asia, Americans at home felt its effects. Metal, rubber and food shortages began to take their toll on everyday life. The war abroad took precedence over life at home -- most canned foods were redirected to the military (Ancestry Historical Insights, 2018).

1944 age 84
Adella Grace Scott Scribner died on 13 February 1944 in Franklin NH. She is buried in Franklin Cemtery, Franklin NH. Her death certificate shows she was 84 years old, lived at -- surprise! -- 19 East High Street. This is a secondary source for date and place of birth, and parents names. Her son Charles Scribner was the informant, and that she is buried at Franklin Cemetery in Franklin NH. |
