Neighborhood Group Leaders, Mechanic Falls
Mechanic Falls - Mrs. Herberta Mitchell, chairman of the neighborhood group, has issued the names of the group leaders and their territory. These leaders' aim is to assist those in their alloted territory with authentic knowledge pertaining to the war effort and to be of such assistance as may be needed. The public will cooperate and make this organization a success by calling on their leaders when assistance is wanted:..Mitchell Street, Annie Cotton;....
Just had to respond to this post, because I grew up in Mechanic Falls. My parents moved there in 1948, so weren't involved in the war effort, but my mother volunteered in the Ground Observer Corps in the 1950s. I wonder if we knew any of your Cotton relatives? I believe my oldest brother might have been in high school with at least one Cotton boy, and the wife of one of our neighbors was a Cotton.

Well, it's great to meet another cousin, Kathy! Thanks for stopping by my blog and looking around. Some Cotton cousins stayed in Mechanic Falls and my grandmother and her brother, Albert moved to Bethel.
