1934, West Parcel: Einar Erickson

In the 1934 map shown in the last post, the owner of the West Parcel is an E. Erickson. This was Einar Erickson. It is currently unknown when Einar first acquired the property.

Born in Bellingham in 1907, Einar married Muriel Trickey in 1934, and both worked for a collections agency at the time of the 1940 census of Crescent Township (indicating that the Ericksons had their permanent residence at Lake Samish at that time). Einar enlisted as an infantryman in the Second World War in April 1944. He was medically discharged that October.

Einar and Muriel had two children: Gregory, born in 1947, and Thomas, born in 1950. Muriel died in 1952. According to the Whatcom Assessor report for the West Parcel of the Point, Einar sold the property at Lake Samish in 1951.
