The 1940 Census - Nellie Waning

1940 U.S. Census Bangor, Penobscot Co., ME

The 1940 census finds Willard Waning's sister, Nellie Waning Gray living in Bangor, Maine.  Sometime before 1903 she divorced Fred Gilmore Gray and returned to using her maiden name.  She is listed as doing housework for the Terratine Club and had an 8th grade education.  She rented her home for $12 a month and also had a lodger living with her.

I had no idea what the Terratine Club might be.   It looks to have been a men's club of some sort.
