Wentworth Acres

During World War II the US Government built subsidised housing for military families and defense workers in Portsmouth, NH. My dad, Clarence Edward Robinson, started working at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, assisting with the construction of submarines, probably late in 1942, or early 1943, and we moved into a large government project, Wentworth Acres.
Four (what we would now call condominium style) two-story living units comprised each of the buildings. The buidings lined the access roads with parking lots behind. I remember the address of our unit as 672 Circuit Road. Behind our building, on a knoll overlooking the parking lot, stood an immense water storage tower. During the winter we, along with neighborhood kids, would use the knoll for sledding. Our unit was a couple of buildings from the perimeter of the housing project. Along the end of our street there was a swampy area where winter ice would form providing a skating area that was also well used. Across the street from our building, an activity building was constructed. It included a gymnasium where Joyce and I were enrolled in tap-dancing classes.

The unit next to ours was occupied by a military family, the Clarks. The kids included a boy, Arthur, younger than I, along with an older sister, Cora. It was she who gave me my first non-platonic kiss in a wooded area behind the activity building. We, or they, didn't live there long enough for us to explore further non-platonic activity. As I recall, it was just another growing experience...in my mind, no resulting bells rang, or whistles blew.

In one of the center units of a building down the street lived one of our playmates whose mother was perpetually drunk. We would occasionally be invited, by our peer, to enter and scrounge for cookies or candy. Our mother didn't much like that practice and brought it to a quick end, although I don't recall any specific disciplinary action other than verbal on her part.

I often walked to school, which was located at the opposite end of the Acres from where we lived. I can't recall how we got to school during inclement weather, and I don't remember how Joyce got to school as we didn't walk together. Dogs along the walk terrified me with their aggressiveness. I thought my second grade teacher was the best thing since Aunt Blanche.

Our car, a brown 1937 Ford with a "bustle" trunk, was not used. In those days of rationing the supply of gasoline was limited. Dad and Mom had books of ration stamps for food and gas that governed our purchases. At the rear of our buiding's parking lot, in the shadow of the water tower, was another unused car. I was fascinated by the overall design of that vehicle, a '40s era Chrysler (Airflyte, maybe) with a radical down sloping hood sort of like that of the VW Bugs of later years.

My twin sisters were born, in Portsmouth Hospital, while we lived there. When they were 12 or 18 months old they used to sit side-by-side on the couch and rock back-and-forth against the cushions. The hospital where they were born is now the Civic Center for the City of Portsmouth, and also includes an assisted living facility for seniors. I volunteered for a year at City Hall, there, for AIDS Response Seacoast in 2001.

I remember that in winter the early morning of milk delivery, when glass bottles would be left at our front steps, would result in the milk and cream freezing and raising the bottle caps on slender frozen pillars several inches in height. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died while we lived there. When the news arrived in the Acres, Mom cried. I think it was announced from an automobile fitted with loud speakers that drove the streets of the complex. We had a Cocker Spaniel puppy for
a short while but it had Rickets, a skeletal diease of young dogs, and was returned to wherever it came from.

Now, 50+ years later, the buildings of Wentworth Acres have been converted into two mid-high end condominium homes. Evidently, the original building skeletons were used when the builings were upgraded. The major difference in layout is that a major thoroughfare, Market St Ext, was built across the swamp on which we ice skated and some buildings in its path were removed. It is easy to pick out the unit where we lived, the water tower still functions on the knoll in back. However, the old parking lots have been transformed into landscaped rear yards, incorporating carports for the owners' vehicles. The old school still stands and during the first several years after Les and I moved to the Seacoast Area a gymnasium/auditorium structure had been added and it was used as Portsmouth Christian Academy. The Academy has since relocated and it looks as if the old school has been retrofitted to commercial use.

Laconia, New Hampshire

At the motel in York Beach, Maine, where I work part-time, I recently took a reservation from a guest who is coming from Laconia, New Hampshire. Now this is not the first guest we have had from Laconia, but as I was recalling that early in my life my family had lived in that city for a short while it occurred to me that I had neglected to include that fact in autobiographical notes I am preparing as a part of my genealogical project. I could not recall, however, in what year we lived there. I can visualize the house and recall that the address was 12 Pearl St. I remember that directly behind the house there was a large field, or park, where a circus that came to town was set up. But, what was the year? OK, I know I didn't go to school in Laconia, even though I was thinking that we had moved directly from our former home, in Sutton, New Hampshire, to Concord, New Hampshire, where I started kindergarten at Walker School. So, it dawned on me, that we must have moved to Laconia before relocating to Concord. Then, last night as I was perusing this question while I should have been sleeping, I suddenly remembered that during the time we lived in Laconia there was great excitement in the area due to the launching of a rebuilt steamship onto Lake Winnepasaukee. In fact, I vaguely recollect that my Dad, Mom, sister Joyce, and I, may have gone to observe the auspiscious event. So, this morning I did some computer research attempting to find a history of the steamship Mt Washington. There I found a nice historical website that tells the entire story of early sightseeing vessels on the lake, including the SS Mt Washington II, that was rebuilt on a hull of a ship that was originally in service on Lake Champlain. The hull was cut into sections and transported on flat-bed rail cars to Lakeport, New Hampshire, where it was reassembled, rebuilt, and launched on August 12, 1940. Eureka! And, that year ties in very nicely with my personal time-line. I would have been 4-years of age, it was August (a reasonable Circus month), and finally we would have relocated to Concord where I was eventually enrolled in kindergarten at age 5.

Genealogical Research Notes

March 24, 2005:
My sister, Phyllis, and I visited a long time friend of the family, Clifford Ayer, in Newbury, New Hampshire, close to the shore of Lake Sunapee. At age 92+ his mind is extremely sharp and among his passions is genealogy. He is assisting with the updating of the town history of neighboring Sutton, New Hampshire, where my family has owned property for six generations (counting through to my grandaughter's generation). I have added supporting historical information, and have paraphrased the following information that Cliff recounted:

The Death of John Henry Robinson
A rumor as told to Clifford Ayer, a long time friend of the Robinson Family of Sutton, New Hampshire.

My grandfather, John Robinson, relocated his family from Concord, New Hampshire, to South Danbury, New Hampshire, early in 1916, where he plied his trade as a blacksmith . At that time horse races were held on the frozen waters of "the pond", in Enfield, New Hampshire. John sharpend the shoes of some of the horses that were frequent winners at the ice races. Henry Rollins, a competing blacksmith with a reportedly quick and violent temper, reportedly became angered by John's abilities in honing race winning horeshoes. It is rumored that one evening while John was walking from his home to town, along nearby railroad tracks, Henry pushed John off a railroad trestle that spanned a brook. The next morning John's lifeless body was found in the brook.

My comments:
John Robinson's death certificate states that he died, on July 22, 1916, "of asphixiation due to drowning". Family members recall that John did indeed start walking the tracks to town, to do some shopping, and never returned. One account mentions that he was walking by the light of a lantern. There was never a mention of the possibility of foul play.

The fact that my grandfather died in July incicates that if there is any truth to the rumor Henry Rollins carried his grudge for months beyond the "ice racing season", which I recognize as being entirely possible. Further, days in July are long and if John was walking by lantern light it must have been very late in the evening. I have no idea, in those days, whether or not stores remained open during late summer evenings. All of which leads me to wonder...what is the "rest of the story"?


Ira King Eastman Homestead
During the same visit to see Cliff Ayer, I asked for directions to the homesite of my maternal gr-gr-grandfather, Ira King Eastman, outside of South Sutton, New Hampshire. Cliff gave me the following:

Follow the Eaton Grange road, from South Sutton, that passes by the side of the old church and one-room schoolhouse (where I attended 7th & 8th grades). Continue past the former home of Buster West, and the Old South Cemetery. Take the road that runs straight ahead up the hill for about a mile.
