What they did

The name section prints a trade for four of the five: a dairy worker, a longshoreman, an on active service and a saleswoman.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise (2), Fairview, Kitsilano and Marpole. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists N W A Tuttle at 2142 Arbutus Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Norris W A Tuttle there as the householder, on active service. The 1940 name section lists Cephranes Tuttle at 8187 Cartier Street, retired.

T H Tuttle is listed at 3054 East 8th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section lists Thomas H Tuttle there as the householder, a longshoreman. A J Tuttle is listed at 2781 Grant Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Alfred J Tuttle there as the householder, a dairy worker at Crystal Dairy.

The 1940 name section lists Mrs Louise Tuttle at 2425 Granville Street, a saleswoman for Cartier Gowns.

Today

2142 Arbutus and 8187 Cartier still have their buildings from before 1946; 3054 East 8th (2005) and 2781 Grant (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2425 Granville, so that building is 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 T. Want a name removed? Tell us.
