there appear to be closely placed huts off 80 and Bluemound Rd that vanish after ww2
My grandfather, Henry Simon Keller, lived in Milwaukee according to the 1940 census. He was in the CCC camp during the 1940’s. I suspect he was in the CCC camp while in Milwaukee. His wife and Kids lived on a farm in Marinette or Marinette Township during this time.
Do you have a list of men who were in the CCC camp in the Milwaukee area during this time.
I do have a photo of him in his CCC uniform.
Thanks
