Edmond Joseph BOUTIN

Notes:

Mr. Boutin lived in Essex Center from 1920 to 1935. He went to school eight years in Essex Center and moved to Barton on May 17, 1935, to a bigger farm with his parents. He worked on the farm until he reported to service for the U.S. between October 15, 1941, and December 15, 1945. He was stationed at Keesler Field, Mississippi, from January to August of 1942 where he served in the orthopedic ward in the hospital. He went on to Gulf Port Field, Mississippi, until January of 1945 where he served as a carpenter in the maintenance department. He went to the infantry at Camp Livingston, Louisiana, where he joined the engineers then left and went to Rufus, Oregon, for two weeks in March 1945. This is when the Allies broke through German lines, and he returned to Camp Polk in Louisiana. He was at this camp when President Roosevelt died in April of 1945. He then went to Huma, Arizona, and built bridges across the Colorado River. He was there when the first atomic bomb was tested in the desert. The war ended, and Mr. Boutin went to Riverside, California, where he camped near the Pacific and built roads and tested wire mesh to help drive heavy equipment in sandy conditions. He was honorably discharged and returned to Barton where he worked on the family farm until March of 1946 when he went to work for Webster Motors in Barton as a mechanic.

In 1949 he built a small garage in Barton called Ed's Garage and owned and operated it until 1951. He traded this building with John Talbot in 1951 when he moved to Glover to farm. He dairy farmed until August 1973 when the Interstate 91 was built and split up some of the farmland. He worked at Ethan Allen in Orleans in 1973 and operated a variable saw until retirement on March 31, 1984.
