Biography

Thompson:
George attended Brattleboro High School 1913-1915 and then had a year at Clawson-Hamilton Business College in Brattleboro, during part of which he worked in the freight office of the Central Vermont Railway Co.

George served as a volunteer with the U S Army in WW I. At that time he was
5'-9 1/2" and weighed 145 lbs., had brown eyes and brown hair, which was "clean and abundant". From military records: Serial #205,417, enlisted 21 March 1917 at Brattleboro, Vt., mustered in 3 April 1917 Company "I", 1st Vt. Infantry, National Guard until 23 Aug 1917, then Company "F", 101st Ammunition Train, 26th Div., until discharge. PFC 1 Aug 1917, overseas 3 Oct 1917 to 23 Apr 1918 and discharged 29 Apr 1919. His enlistment record sheet shows that he was at Toul Sector April 11-June 1918, Seichprey defensive April 20/21, Aisne defensive July 6-17, Aisne-Marne/St. Mihiel offensive July 18-Aug. 6, Troyon Sector Sept. 5-Oct. 12, Verdun sector offensive Oct. 12- Nov. 11, 1918. While in Europe he was gassed slightly, according to his statement during a subsequent hospitalization, one of many over the next 40 years. Afterward he had respiratory problems and was in frail health, making necessary a large number of treatments at the federal facility at Chelsea, Maine (TOGAS). His complete medical file contains records of a wide range of problems and is about an inch thick. George's deteriorating health made it difficult to obtain and hold employment due to frequent absences and loss of strength, which prevented him from lifting even small packages. He eventually received a small government disability pension.

Following the war, he was an office manager and lived several years in Somerville, Ma., married and had two children who lived only a short time - one being a "blue baby" and the other died of scarlet fever. A third child, Marjorie, was the only child who lived into adulthood. (Did he work in the family milk business at this time?) He and Charlotte probably moved to Maine to be nearer to her family.

During part of his years living in Maine he managed an A&P Store in Belfast, and was a welder for about three years during WW II at Bath Iron Works. Much of his work was intermittant/sporadic because of health limitations. SS #partially deleted.............................. 01 3081.

He and 1st wife Charlotte were divorced 15 Oct 1930, vol 20 page 121. She was one of many boarders listed at 109 Highland Ave., Somerville, Ma. in 1920 city directory. (Housekeeper was Victoria E. Foote, a member of the Foote family of North Adams, Ma. Brother Fred's first wife, Agnes, is buried in the Foote lot in the N. Adams Cem. More than a coincidence!)

George and 2nd wife Mary, who was the main support for both of them, are buried in Grove Cemetery, Belfast, and near them is Mary's sister Addie. His death cert. #06552. The City of Belfast has an incorrect name (Frank P.) for his father.¹

Biography

Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in her grandparents' home in Atchison, Kansas. Her father, Edwin Earhart, was an attorney; her mother, Amy, a
homemaker. Amelia's sister Muriel, known fondly as "Pidge," was born three years later.

In 1916, Amelia's mother used money she inherited from her parents to enroll Amelia in the Ogontz School in Rydal, Pennsylvania. Amelia enrolled as a pre-med student at Columbia University in the fall of 1919. At the end of the school year she rejoined her parents who were now living in
Los Angeles, California. In January 1921, at the age of 23, Amelia took her first flying lesson. By the time she made her first solo flight, Amelia knew that her future was as an aviator, not a doctor. That summer, Amelia became the proud owner of her first airplane -- a brand new, yellow Kinner Airster. The plane was designed by Bert Kinner who owned the airfield where Amelia took flying lessons. In October 1922, just a year after she got her new airplane, Amelia set the first of many aviation records in her career. She flew to 14,000 feet, higher than any woman had flown before. Amelia's rise to fame began in 1928. On June 17, 1928, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Although she was a licensed pilot, Amelia was only a passenger aboard the Friendship's Fokker F7. In 1929, Amelia acquired a Lockheed Vega airplane, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine, and entered the Women's Air Derby from Santa Monica, California, to Cleveland, Ohio. The first race across the country by women pilots, it was dubbed the "Pow der Puff Derby." An all-woman race was so unusual, airports closed to all other air traffic until the last woman was safely on the ground. Amelia continued to set records. In 1930, she set a women's speed record of 181.18 mph over a three kilometer course. In 1931, she became the first person to set an altitude record in an Autogiro -- 18,451 feet. The Autogiro was an airplane with a rotary propeller on top that led to the development of the helicopter.

Amelia Earhart worked constantly for the advancement of women in aviation and believed strongly in the potential of commercial flight:

* In 1929, she helped form an organization for the advancement of women pilots, The Ninety-Nines, and served as its first president from 1930 - 1933. This
international organization is still active today, with 70,000 members.

* In 1930, she joined Gene Vidal and Paul Collins in forming a new airline that offered shuttle service between New York, Washington, and Philadelphia.

* She was aviation editor for Cosmopolitan magazine, wrote articles, lectured, and continued to work in other ways to advance her goals.

On February 7, 1931, Amelia Earhart and George P. Putnam were married at a private ceremony in Noank, Connecticut. Amelia first met "G.P." when she was
planning her 1928 transatlantic flight. Amelia's husband helped make her a success by obtaining funding for her flights and publicizing her adventures so she could teach others by her accomplishments.

Early in 1932, Amelia decided to fly the Atlantic alone. She was to depart on the 5th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's historic crossing. In the five years between Lindbergh's and Amelia's journey, fourteen people had died trying to duplicate "Lindy's" flight. Amelia Earhart landed near Londonderry, Northern Ireland, after flying 2,026 miles in 14 hours and 54 minutes. For this daring flight, she received France's Cross of the Legion of Honor, the Cross of the Chevalier of the Order of Leopold of Belgium, and m any other honors in Europe.

Back home in the United States, she was the first woman awarded the National Geographic Sosiety Gold Medal for her contribution to the science of aviation. President Herbert Hoover made the presentation. Members of the president's Cabinet, a majority of t he members of Congress, and dignitaries from more than 20 other nations attended the ceremony. After the transatlantic flight, she continued to set aviation records. In 1935, Amelia became the first person to fly solo, non-stop, from Honolulu, H awaii to Oakland, California.

She also became the first person to fly solo from Los Angeles, California, to Mexico City, Mexico, by official invitation of the Mexican government, and from Mexico City to Newark, New Jersey. Once again, she traveled extensively across the United States, speaking to men's professional organizations, women's groups and school children about aviation and its implications for the modern world.

In the fall of that year, Amelia became a visiting counselor at Purdue University where she helped women plan careers in engineering and mechanics. Purdue
supported Amelia's effort to advance aviation with a shining new Lockheed Electra 10E, a plane that symbolized modern air power and efficiency. When
accepting the aircraft she said, "My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of commercial flying and for the women who may want to fly tomorrow's planes."

In February 1937, Amelia announced her last aerial adventure: an around-the-world flight, at the equator, beginning and ending in Oakland, California. After that,
she would settle down to enjoy her home, family, friends and books, though she still planned to keep flying in connection with her lectures and research work at Purdue.

On March 17, 1937, Amelia Earhart departed Oakland, California, in the Electra 10E bound for Honolulu, Hawaii, the first leg of her epic flight. However, the
Electra was damaged during a crash on takeoff from Honolulu. Amelia was greatly disappointed. She had failed for the first time in front of the entire world. She also was badly in need of funds to repair the Electra. However, Amelia Earhart, determined and courageous, did not give up.

She returned the Electra to the Lockheed factory in California for repairs. Lockheed employees volunteered to work overtime without pay to repair the plane. On May 20, 1937, Amelia took off from Oakland again. This time, due to changing weather patterns, she reversed direction and flew east.

Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, completed 22,000 miles and 28 legs of the estimated 25,000 mile trip. On July 2, 1937, they disappeared on the journey
from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island, a small narrow atoll in the South Pacific.

The Navy searched 220,000 square miles of ocean. Rescuers checked thousands of tiny islands. Low flying planes scanned the endless sea. After 15 days of exhaustive search, the Navy sadly admitted that Earhart and Noonan were lost.

Biography

Thompson: It appears that she was married 3 times, according to marriage records on State of Maine website. We do not know whether divorce or death ended the earlier marriages. First seems to be to Myron L. Bowden, also of Winterport, on Dec. 17, 1912 and she is listed as Eliza M. Nado. In the Winterport town records there is an entry of intended marriage Dec. 12 for Myron L. Bowden and Eliza May Nado. The 2nd marriage was to Daniel G. Hamm of Winterport Oct. 13, 1917 and she is shown as Eliza B. Bowden, with a cross reference as Eliza M. Nado. The final marr. is as Mary E. Nado to George F. Thompson, both of Belfast. Aunt Mary was congenial despite the rigors of their life without luxuries and ongoing health concerns. She was a heavy smoker, worked in a clothing factory in Belfast.

There are several Maine archives entries for Nado women being married during the mid-1940/50s, residents of Belfast, but cannot determine relationship. There is also a record of Charles S. Nado of Belfast marrying Barbara L. Parsons of Belfast Nov. 16, 1944 (parents names not shown on internet site).

Mary had a half-sister, Cordelia J. Dow, who was an R. N. and gave a written statement to support George's pension request. She died Jan. 4, 1972 at Belfast, making birth c1918. No other details except she is age 12 on 1930 census of Winterport, Waldo County, Maine, and living with her father Charles Mckinnon age 69 and his stepdaughter Eliza M. Hamm age 33. It appears that Charles' unknown first wife may have died and he then married Aunt Mary's mother, who also died. Maine state records online do hot have info available to clarify, but 1920 census yields more info.

1920 census for Bucksport, Hancock County, Maine shows Charles McKinnon as head of household, age 57, a merchant ship pilot living on School Street as # 179, family # 189, with wife Sylvina B. age 47, daughter Cordill age 2 and son David B. age 1. At the same location, family # 190 consists of Daniel G. Hamm age 23, a foreman at a shirt factory and wife Eliza M. age 23, a stitcher at a shirt factory.¹
