Biographical History
Newton McCracken (February 5, 1916-September 13, 1975) was born in Hudson, Ohio and lived in Honolulu, Hawaii during the Second World War. Before the war, Newton worked for National Rubber. He moved to Hawaii in 1942, where he worked as a civilian in the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard. He lived in an apartment in Civilian Housing Area 3, which housed 12,000 workers during its peak. He wrote a series of letters to his parents, Clinton C. and Nellie McCracken, while living in Hawaii. It is known that Newton travelled aboard the passenger ship Mexico, from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Seattle, Washington, on June 23, 1944, and then returned to Hawaii before April 17, 1945. Newton apparently stayed in Richmond, California during November, 1945 before boarding a train back to Ohio. Newton McCracken later moved to Hollywood, Florida where he died in 1975 at the age of 59.
