Hello, I was wondering how old you were back when they had the CC Camps? All those CC Camps were housing for workers. The men were taken to where there was work to be done. They were paid to work and the CC Camps were where they lived while working. Not every one could get work close to home. It was World War II that got this country out of the Great Depresion.

I wasn't born until '47, so there were no more CC Camps. I have my dad's newsletters from the Berryville CC Camp (Champlain Champion) in September and December of 1940 and January 1941, that I have donated to the CCHS, so I know he was there then. However, based on what you are all saying, he may not have been there in April 1940 when the census was conducted.

The Enumeration District for the CCC camp was 8-24, but it shows as two blank pages with Non-Pop written across it. Does anyone know the history of the CCC camp during the census taking?
