Description: Journal of William K. Hinton, while in the US Navy, 3/31/1919-1923. William K. Hinton William was a certified boy scout scoutmaster with a term ending in 1932, and from all appearances, was a caring husband and father. William left the area and went back to Ohio around 1936 or 1937, where he had family. Paul would have been 9 or 10 at this time. He worked in Colombus in an electric shop doing radio service work. He later worked at the Curtis Wright plant making electrical connections between the engines and planes. They were not officially divorced? as on William's death certificate, Harriet is listed as surviving spouse. According to this document,William died in El Cajon, California. His occupation is listed as accountant for K.A.L. Industries, which was involved with auctions. As he was a radioman in his navy years, he gravitated to work with radio repair after leaving the area. In a 1971 letter written to Harriet and Paul, he describes his fondness for playing the “numbers", and how he sometimes heard a voice in his dreams that told him which numbers to play! [show more]
Description: Harriet Hinton diary 1943 forward Very brief entries of no more than 3-4 lines. Often mentioning the weather, or endless chores of the household. Not much glimpse of feelings or emotions. Amongst the items found with her diary is a small paper with 6 “rules to live by”? 1. When asked for an opinion, find out what the asker prefers, and agree. 2. When asked questions about anybody, answer “I don't know”. 3. Don't bore people with your own plans and affairs. Keep quiet. Listen to them and agree. 4. Ask no favors of anyone unless absolutely necessary. 5. Don't borrow or lend, you'll lose a friend. 6. Never offer any information or suggestions. Entertainment and interaction seemed to come from visits with neighbors or women's “club” meetings, as well as frequent and regular visits to McKinley or Southwest Harbor to see movies, often with Paul. Harriet was a devoted mother, centering much of her life around Paul and his activities. She also spent much time with and leaned on her parents. When she was not feeling well, her mother often filled in for her at the post office. During the especially busy Christmas season when mail bags were very heavy, both her mother and Paul would come in to the post office to help. During the summer season, mail deliveries came twice daily, but the rest of the year, it was once a day, and then often hours late, due to weather. The otherwise quiet winter weeks were marked by the arrival of the Sears and the Montgomery Ward catalogs. In September of 1943, there was a gas shortage. Harriet and Paul made trips to Ellsworth in hopes of filling their gas tank. The water supply for the family came from a cistern. During cold weather, when many months would go by with no rain, the cistern would get low or dry up altogether. In February of 1944, Harriet wrote that the cistern ran out and Paul and his grandfather carried water from the McDuffie's well. During this month, Harriet mentions that Paul went roller skating in Trenton. 1944 brought an outbreak of Scarlet Fever to the community. In July, Harriet recorded that a blimp came down in the water off Mount Desert. In December, she notes that there was talk about a boat torpedoed at Mount Desert Rock, with many dead. [show more]
