In his late teens, he joined the Civil Conservation Corps., which was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the depression in order to provide jobs for the unemployed. The purpose of the corps. was to build state parks, clear
fire breaks, and any other kind of forestry work required in the U.S. During its time there were many nicknames for the Civilian Conservation Corps, but the most common by far was "Roosevelt's Tree Army." This name stuck because the recruits
were young men (hence the term "boys") who "enrolled" for a term of service, lived in "camps," much like the soldiers in an army. Each camp had a commanding officer, normally a lieutenant or colonel in the army, a mess hall, laundry and
toolhouse. In general, the camps also had a rec(reaction) hall and canteen, where the men could buy candy and tobacco. Modular barracks made it easy to add to a camp or tear it down. In 1942, when the Corps disappeared, some of the housing was
reused in local POW camps, or the determent camps of Japanese-Americans on the West Coast.
Each "boy" would recieve $30.00 a month. $25.00 would go to his wife or family and he kept the rest. When the corps had a problem with an enlistee the punishment ran the gamut from KP or extra duty to being given a ticket home.
When he returned from CCC Camp, he went to work at Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Co., in Chester, Pa.
He married Florence Evelyn Carke, his childhood sweetheart, April 20, 1940 in Essington, Pa. They lived in an apartment in Essington, Pa. until after their first child, Franny, was born. Circa 1942, they bought a house at 225 Sylvania Ave.,
Folsom, Pa. After the births of son David, 1945, and daughter, Jeannette, 1950, they sold the house in Folsom, circa 1953, and bought a house at 300 Harding Ave., Milmont Park, Ridley Manor, Pa.
Francis Henry Jr (Franny) was a quiet shy man who was well liked and well loved by all who knew him. He died in his sleep of a heart attack on June 15th, 1967 at home.
