The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists J N Stoutenburg at 1740 East 2nd Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Joseph N Stoutenburg there as the householder, a longshoreman, with Norma Stoutenburg, an operator at Dubbel-Wear Uniforms, and Walter D Stoutenburg. In 1940 the directory lists E C Stoutenburg at 1340 Graveley Street. The 1940 name section lists Everett C Stoutenburg there as the householder.

The 1940 name section lists Ione Stoutenberg at 1509 Haro Street, a saleswoman at Famous, with Percy Stoutenberg. The 1940 name section lists Howard Stoutenburg at 3992 Ontario Street, a salesman at R Latta & Co.

Today

3992 Ontario still has its building from before 1946, dated 1938 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1740 East 2nd, 1340 Graveley and 1509 Haro, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
