Adella Grace Scott Scribner Part 9 of 9, 1940s

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.

Historical Insight -- The United States enters World War II

Adella Scott Scribner lived in Franklin, NH when the United States declared war on Japan just one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor that killed 2,400 Americans.

From coffee to panty hose to chicken wire fencing,
most common foods and supplies were rationed during World War II.

allotted number of coupons to purchase staples at stores.

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).

Historical Insight -- WWII Rationing in the United States

During World War II, Adella Scott Scribner was living in Frankln NH in 1942 when the United States government instituted food rationing.

During World War II, across the United States, Americans were forced to get
savvy when food rationing became part of daily life starting in 1942.

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).

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.

Adella Grace Scott Scribner ... 1900s

1900

1900, no census.  The census was actually taken this year, but I cannot find this family.  Hold, please, I just thought of something.

YES!  I found them.  This family has not moved from the area ever.  Why would they do so this time?  Well, it could happen.  But, I searched in Ancestry from the first page of the 1900 census for Franklin, Merrimack, NH.  There are three wards, so I chose the ward they were in for the 1910 census.  This could easily have been a bust, since ward district boundaries change in the course of 10 years, but it was a shot.  About halfway through the 43 pages, I found them.  They were indexed under some weird name.  See for yourself.

Scribner Family, Franklin NH, 1900 census

14 June 1900, the Scribner family live on Franklin Street.  Here we see the month of birth, although the years are wrong on a couple of them.  We also see they have been married for 23 years, and that she only had the three children.

January 1900 Fire breaks out in Franklin

A disastrous fire hit the community early Saturday morning, January 16, 1900.  As a result of the fire, the Burleigh Block was ruined.  This block was the first brick building on Central Street, having been erected in 1871, but had a large wooden annex (City of Franklin NH, n.d.).  See more stories here

1902

Marriage of son Charles H. Scribner, Franklin, Merrimack, NH.  This is a document for her son Charles' marriage to Sadie Trumbull, both of whom live in Franklin.  Charles is a bookkeeper and Sadie is a mill operative.  I was curious as to what mill was operating in Franklin in 1900.  Sutton Mill popped right up, made hosiery.  I knew several of my NH kin worked in the hosiery mills, so this makes perfect sense.  See below for some interesting history of that area.

On the back of the marriage certificate is a wealth of information.  Very surprising for NH, I must say.  We find Morrill is 46, and is a Mill Overseer, with Adella keeping house.  Both of them were born in Salisbury.  We find the bride's family, also in their 40s, her father was a farmer, and her mother is also a housewife.  Both of the bride's parents were born in Hill NH.  No signatures in this batch, I'm afraid.

Eighty-five-year-old Franklin native Andy Nadeau calls himself an “original river rat.”

As a young man, Nadeau remembers his home city as vibrant, well-off and full of familiar faces – now he sees it as a center for renters and a downtown full of decaying storefronts.

Nadeau wonders, though, if the mill city can ever recapture the wealth of its industrial past.

To create their community, the settlers used water to power their first sawmill in Punch Brook, beginning a centuries-long history for Franklin’s mill activity.

Six paper and pulp mills were eventually built in the Winnipesaukee, with dams redirecting the water flow at six points along the river.

“It created a current that was year-round – that was the attraction for the mills,” Webb said. “Franklin wouldn’t exist (if not) for the confluence of the rivers.”

Mill city

“It gave a lot of people (the) chance to go to work,” he said.

In addition to paper mills, wool and hosiery mills came into town, including Sulloway Mills, where Nadeau’s parents made socks and stockings.

The textile operations lasted longer than the paper industry. Four decades after Franklin was incorporated as a city in 1895, the paper and pulp mills were all shut down due to labor strikes and the Great Depression, Nadeau said. In 1934, the dams were damaged by spring floods, then dynamited.

Dirty rivers

The mills meant vitality for the Franklin community. Yet for the waterways, they created obstruction and filth.

That was something Nadeau witnessed in his time. “Everybody was dumping into the river,” he said. Sewages, chemical waste, dye – anything undesirable.

“My father-in-law came to visit from Indiana,” Nadeau said. “I took him down to the Merrimack. He’s standing there fishing, and he says, ‘I’ve never seen a river with an asphalt bottom.’ ”

It wasn’t asphalt, but sludge and slime.

Change

Sulloway Mills closed in 1953 ....

Webb, the historical society president, said Franklin’s decline is typical of any city losing its prime industry.

“The demographics changed drastically,” he said. “There’s a significant portion of Franklin that struggles to pay taxes. It became a city that struggled to meet its bills.”

One thing that has improved is the rivers. The water now runs clear, is unobstructed by the mill dams and no longer has raw sewage and industrial waste pouring into it.
