Charles Francis Strachan
M, b. 28 April 1904
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
Birth* | Charles Francis Strachan was born on 28 April 1904 in Bronx, New YorkG.1 |
| He was living with his family in 1920 at 1216 Seneca Avenue in the Bronx and working as a paying clerk for Western Electric. He was still there in 1925 but working as a City Surveyor. In 1930 he was still home with the folks in the Bronx and working as a civil engineer. In 1940 he was a civil engineer with the New York City Public Works Department while still living with his parents, this time at 891 Faile Street in the Bronx. When he filled out his World War II draft card in Feb 1942 he was still working for the New York City Public Works Department and living with his parents, whowere now at 139 Payson Avenue in Manhattan. He was described as being 5'10" tall weighing 165 pounds with brown eyes and hair and a light complexion. They were all still there in 1950. His father was 79 and no longer employed so Charles Jr. appeared to be the sole breadwinner for the three of them now. He was still single. |
Helen Marguerita Strachan
F, b. 12 June 1900
This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
Birth* | Helen Marguerita Strachan was born on 12 June 1900 in Manhattan, New YorkG.1,2 |
Marriage License* | She and Robert J. Miller, son of John B. Miller and Katherine B. (?), obtained a marriage license on 27 August 1924 in Bronx, New YorkG.3 |
| She was living with her family in 1920 at 1216 Seneca Avenue in the Bronx and working as a billing clerk in a law office. In the New York state census of 1925, dated June 1st, she was listed at that same address with her parents despite having gotten a marriage license the previous August, and under occupation it said 'house girl.' When the 1930 census was taken Helen and her new husband Robert Miller had been married for about six years and were living without children at 45 East Mosholu Parkway North in the Bronx. It was an address with many families living there filling three pages in the census. Today it is a large apartment block that was probably there in 1930 as well. Robert worked as an "executive in a store."
In 1940 they were living in an apartment at 98-76 Queens Boulevard in Queens that they rented for $70 a month. Robert's mother Catherine was living with them and he was working as the manager of the Theatre Finance Co. and earning $4500 a year, an amount that is roughly equivalent to more than $200,000 in 2023. The census said they had been in the same place in 1935. Ten years later they were still in Queens living at 9945 67th Road Apartment 606 and he was manager of a consumer credit bank.
Robert was buried in Pompano Beach, Fla. in 1972 so they must have moved down there at some point. Helen's name and birth year are on the stone but her date of death is left blank, so she was probably buried elsewhere.
No children were included in any of their census records so apparently they had none. |

Marriage* | She married Edward J. Bray, son of Henry J. Bray and Minnie Coleman, on 18 October 1932 in Bronx, New YorkG.2,3 |
| Her middle name of Wilmab is the spelling in the ancestry index so could be wrong. 'Wilma' would be more likely.
When the 1925 state census was taken she was living with her parents at 1216 Seneca Avenue in the Bronx and working as a telephone operator. In 1930 she was still single and at home in the Bronx with her family, but working as a stenographer in the automobile industry.
In 1940 she was living with her husband and two sons and her father in law at 644 Rosedale Avenue in the Bronx. They were in a house that they owned that was valued at $7800 and it was the same place they had been living in 1935. Edward worked as a department head in a bank. He had a four year college degree while Ethel had a four year High School education. |

Burial* | He was buried on 11 March 2013 in Woodlawn Cemetery in Westbrook, Cumberland County, MaineG.3 |
| His obituary appeared on the website of the Dolby, Blais and Segee in Westbrook, Cumberland County, MaineG, and read as follows:
WESTBROOK -- Aime Alfred Levecque passed away at the Barron Center Portland, March 9, 2013 after several years with Alzheimer's surrounded by his loving family. He was born on Sept. 28, 1927 in Westbrook, the son of Wilfred and Edesse Levesque, both deceased. He was raised in Westbrook and attended local schools. As a young boy he belonged to the Crusader's at the St. Hyacinth Church, attended their parochial school and a communicant of St. Mary's Church. He entered the Navy in 1944 with a discharge in 1946 as Seaman 1st class. In 1948 Aime married his sweetheart Constance (Connie) Libby also of Westbrook. Her brother had given Aime a picture of his sister which Aime carried in his wallet throughout his years in the Navy. Connie hadn't even met him yet. They would have celebrated 65 years together in April. He started a long sales career with the Henley Kimball Co. on Forest Avenue selling Hudson's for over 9 years and received numerous honors as their top salesman. He served many years as New England's sales representative with companies such as Valvoline Oil Co. and Oxford Chemical Co. then was transferred to Ridgefield, Conn. where he established territory throughout New York State. In 1965 he was yet again transferred to Portland, Ore. where he covered the Pacific Northwest for Bell & Howell. While in Ore. he helped establish a new concept of 'drive up photo shops' and called them Photo Island. They were in many of the local area shopping centers and Hawaii which proved very successful. Wanting to settle his family down they moved back to Maine in 1970 where he started his own Chemical and Supply Company, Dynamic Sales Inc for 12 years. In 1982 he was encouraged to accept a position that required a Maine native to represent a German company, Remstar International in settling their national headquarters in So. Portland. He was responsible for finding a location, hiring staff and implementing all operations. Remstar is still doing business at a Westbrook location after 31 years. In 1983 he started Executive Limousine Service, offering the first stretch limousine in southern Maine. He had the opportunity to service President Bush with his Kennebunkport functions and many times drove dignitaries including Rev. Billy Graham and various entertainers. In 1986 yet another business opportunity came about for Aime while enjoying semi-retirement. He was asked by a dear friend Ed Burns to find a buyer for his Westbrook based fence company, E.A. Burns Fencing. He agreed to purchase the company himself and bought the old railroad station on Rochester Street to set up the new business site where it still stands after 27 years. Within a year he asked his son Peter to join him and 10 years ago Peter's son Jason joined the company as well. Aime was a charter member of the Westbrook Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Westbrook Rotary and the American Legion. He worked on many charity drives and fund projects for the St. Mary's Church. Connie and Aime enjoyed many years boating on Sebago Lake. While they spent 21 happy years in their Venice, Fla. condo during the Maine winters, they also enjoyed many trips throughout the U.S., Caribbean, Canada, Italy and celebrated their 50th anniversary in France. They also enjoyed visiting their daughter Suzanne while she lived in Mass., Chicago, Colo. and Calif. Now living back home, Suzanne remembers their love for dancing with each other. 'I forever wanted a few dance steps with Dad, he was so smooth and I loved seeing his smile as he glided across the floor. But Mom was his dancing partner and people would stop to watch them - they were a wonderful sight to see'. Aime leaves his wife Connie; daughter Suzanne and her partner Janet Pitt, son Peter, daughter in law Terry; grandson Jason and his finance Emilie Youmans, granddaughter Kristen and her husband Jason Philbrook, and granddaughter Jamie; Great grandchildren, Carson, Kali and Logan; a brother Donald and sister in law Geraldine in N.H. along with several nieces and nephews. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude to the staff at The Barron Center 2nd floor and the Alzheimer's Unit for the excellent care and compassion over the past four years. They also want to thank the Sol-Amor Hospice for their tender care these past few days. Visiting hours will be at the Blais & Hay Funeral Home in Westbrook Wednesday, March 13, between 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.followed by a service at 6:30. Interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers and in Aime's memory donations may be sent to: Barron Center Residents Activities Fund, 45 Brighton Avenue, Portland, Maine.4 |
