The 1940 US session was released this summer after the
mandatory 72 year delay. I am making my
way through the information and will be posting various Biele items of
interest.
First up is Carl F. Biele who according to the census was
living at 315 Cumberland Road in South Orange, NJ. Living with Carl (62) are his wife Theresa
(59), son Eugene (28), daughter Helen (27), and son Bernard (22). His eldest son, Charles E. Biele (35) had
moved out many years earlier and during the 1940 census was living with his
wife and two children in nearby East Orange, NJ.
Regarding employment, Carl is listed as “President” in the “Tools”
industry and Eugene is listed as “Owner” in the “Radio” industry. Theresa is noted as engaged in housework,
Bernard as a student, and Helen as “other”.
Carl was renting the home at 315 Cumberland for $60 per
month. According to Zillow, the house is
5,431 square feet and sits on a half acre of land. It was built in 1905 and today has an
estimated value of $665K.
