In late 1940 while living in South Carolina, my Father’s job at a local business was replaced with a machine. He had to find a new job and/or occupation.
After I completed the 1st grade in a small one-room School we moved across the State Line to Anson County, NC.
My Dad found work as a carpenter with a local construction company and we the children began school at a local high school.
In 1955, I would turn 13 and start the 8th grade in school. Daddy was working away from home; I only knew that he was working construction elsewhere in the state.
Finding this 1955 City Directory for Monroe, NC, and finding my Father listed as a resident was quite surprising and a wonderful memento of my teenage years.
