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. 
Each American family was issued a ration book that contained an
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 Part 7 of 9, 1920s

Adella Grace Scott Scribner 1920s

1920

1920 Census, Franklin Ward 3, Merrimack NH;  Farm on East High Street

 We can see here that she lives on what looks like 19 East High Street.  It may be a farm, because Albert is listed as working the farm on his own account.  She is widowed, with her daughter Gertrude and son-in-law Albert Manuel living with them.  While the address looks like 19 East High Street, it could be 17, still.  Or the enumerator wrote 17 first, then over-wrote it as 19.

I nearly missed it until I looked closely.  Her neice Gladys Mitchell is also living with them.  I don't know who this is.  Could it be a sister's child?  Or her brother's married daughter?  I honestly don't know.

 Now that I look at the next family, Ernest and Jennie Elliott, who look like they live at 17 East High street, I wonder if Adella let out half of the property?  Because sometimes the address is 17 and sometimes it is 19.  But, we will look at the maps from Google Maps, it is really the same property.

1920 City Directory, same year as the census above.

17 East High street, Franklin NH

Here we see that nephews Arthur, Leon and Leslie all live on Smith Hill, all served in the US Army.  Sister-in-law Emma lives in the same place.  Son Charles has promoted up to chief clerk at the Sulloway hosiery mill.  I am not sure of Edward Scott, Weston Scott, Mary Scribner.  Gertrude is probably listed under her married name Manuel.

1921

1921-1924 Warren G. Harding becomes the 29th President of the United States.

Republican President from 1921 until his death 1923
"At that time, he was one of the most popular US Presidents,
but the subsequent exposure of scandals that took place under his administration,
and an affair eroded his popular regard.  Harding is often rated among the worst US Presidents.
 (Wikipedia -- Harding, 2018)

 President Harding Quote:  "America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration" -- Warren G. Harding (Wikipedia -- Harding, 2018).

(The Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati OH, 1920)

1922

Residence Franklin NH.  Ancestry's index has her living in Concord NH, but Franklin is part of that Concord directory, so watch what you include in your genealogy.  I've often had to correct the information.  I double check to make sure.  See at the top of the page?  It specifically says Franklin City Directory, so I am comfortable changing that information to reflect reality.

1922 Franklin Directory, same information,
only listed as 19 East High Street

Today, the property has been rebuilt in 2000 as a single family home.  I think they rebuilt it on the same foundation.  No, I didn't include photos, because it doesn't apply, here.  You can search for it on Google, where you will find some realty listings giving you more detail.

Residence Franklin NH.  Same song, another verse, another year.  I failed to crop and mark up this one, but you get the idea.  Same cast of characters, but with some new information here.  Adella's nephew Arthur Scott is a farmer on Smith Hill Road, with his brother Chester boarding there working as a farm hand, and his mother Emma living with them.  Adella's nephews Leon Scott is a mill operative and boarding on Spring street, and Leslie is employed at I.P. company, renting rooms on Prospect street.  They apparently do not have wives at this time.  I am still unfamiliar with Edward Scott and Weston Scott.  Son Charles and Sadie Scribner is an office manager the hosiery manufacturer, Sulloway Mill.  Don't know nuthin' 'bout Mary E. Scribner.

1925

1925-1928 -- Calvin Coolidge becomes the 30th President of the United States.

Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States
Republican, he was the Massachusetts governor, Vice President,
becoming president with the death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. 
Elected in his own right in 1924. 
Said very little, although he had a rather dry sense of humor
(Wikipedia -- Coolidge, 2018).

President Calvin Coolidge Quote:  "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.  Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education wil not:  the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent" -- Calvin Coolidge (Coolidge, 2018).

Adella Scott Scribner was living in Franklin NH when Charles Lindbergh visited Concord NH after becoming the first man to make a solo flight across the Atlantic

(Ancestry Historical Insights, 2019)

Charles Lindbergh's effort to become the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927 was far from a one-man endeavor.  Lindbergh's quest to earn the $25,000 Orteig Prize was supported by St. Louis investors, and his monoplane, The Spirit of St. Louis, was built in San Diego, California.  On May 20, the 25-year-old Lindbergh took off from Long Island's Roosevelt Field in Garden City, New York, where itizens and journalists gathered to watch his departure.  About 33 hours later Lindbergh landed safely near Paris, France, as a crowd of at least 100,000 people greeted him.  A journalist described the pandemonium as "Lucky Lindy" landed in France:  "Soldiers and police tried for one small moment to stem the tide, then they joined it, rushing as madly as anyone else toward the aviator and his plane."  Lindbergh became an instant international hero, and he went on a 92-city tour across the United States (Ancestry Historical Insights, 2019).

1929 age

Residence Franklin NH.  A few new characters show up.  Bernard Scribner is Adella's grandson (Charles' son), living with his parents Charles and Sadie.  Nephew Arthur has a wife Ada.  Nephew Chester and wife Celia; I don't know Edward.  Sister in law Emma on Smith Hill, where are the others?  Nephew Leslie Scott and his wife Ruth.  Don't know about Weston.  Again, we have son Charles and Sadie living on Orchard.  Strange how they names are not exactly alphabetical, and with Charles listed twice with occupation as accountant, and again as office manager of Sulloway mill.

President Herbert Hoover Quote:  "There is no employing class, no working class, no farming class.  You may pigeonhole a man or woman as a farmer or a worker or a professional man or an employer or even a banker.  But the son of the farmer will be a doctor or a worker or even a banker, and his daughter a teacher.  The son of a worker will be an imployer -- or maybe president" -- Herbert Hoover (Hoover, 2018).
