Charles Everett (Everett) SHARKEY |
When Charles Everett Sharkey registered for the WWI draft, he and Lena were living at 30 Aspinook St. in Jewett City (New London), Connecticut. Charles was teaming for Shea Bros. in Jewett City. When the 1920 census was taken, this family was living at 16 Anthony St. in Griswold (New London), Connecticut. Charles was a laborer, odd jobs. When the 1930 census was taken, “Everett Shockey” was living in the home of his parents at 6 Aspinook St. in Jewett City. The census record says he is married, but there is no wife or children in the household. Everett is a salesman, groceries. He said he was 17/19 when he first got married. Everett and Lena separated around 1929, and later were divorced. At the time of separation, their 3 sons were placed into the St. Joseph Orphanage in Fall River, Mass., run by French-speaking nuns. They lived in large dorm-like rooms, seeing each other infrequently, since they were separated by age groups. Charlie, the oldest, was taken out after 3 years, in 1932, by Velo, his grandfather, and adopted (not legally). Charlie, his grandparents Velo and Mary, and Hugh Sharkey (Charlies uncle, Everetts brother), all lived together in Jewett City, CT. Since there was no high school in Jewett City, Charlie had to attend the academy in Norwich, CT. Robert was taken out by his mother, Lena, and continued to be brought up by her. They lived in Norwich on Cliff St., and later on Washington St. Donald, the youngest son, was 7 years old when put into the orphanage, and the nuns put him into the 2nd grade. Don was taken out by his father, Everett, when he was about 9, and was put into the 5th grade. Don and Everett moved into a room in a Jewish familys home (the Wechlers). Later they moved to Finns Block in Jewett City. This was a large building containing a movie theater, dentists office, etc. They lived on the 3rd floor, and Charlie, Dons brother, moved in with them, after a while. Around 1938, a hurricane blew off the roof to the building, so Everett and Don moved to an apartment. Charlie, at 19, moved to the Maleks Hotel, and had a room across from his grandfather, Edmond Bechard. Fred Bechard, his uncle, played the fiddle. It seems that when the boys were placed in the St-Joseph orphanage, Lena was living as a lodger in Providence, Rhode Island when the 1930 census was taken. The census states she was 18 when she got married and was working as a waitress in a restaurant. The 1930 census has three boys in the St-Joseph’s orphanage which is located on St-Joseph St. in Fall River (Bristol), Massachusetts who were born in Connecticut, but the names and ages don’t quite match. They are Robert Chartier, age 16, Harold Chartier, age 11, and Daniel Chartier, age 7.
