After working as a carpenter in Nacadoches Tx. he returned to Crockett Texas where worked at a cotton gin. His job was maintenance and repair of the two hugh diesel engines and other mechanical equipment. Erwin moved to Houston in 1942 where he worked for several different electrical companies repairing radios and electrical appliances. During World War 2 he worked at Brown's Ship Yard installing radios and radar equipment on ships being built for the navy. He worked for Hobbs Trailer Co in repair and maintenance of their trucks. Erwin had a chronic ulcer condition and was in poor health most of his adult life and they eventually caused his death in 1948. Ewwin must have been well like by his employers. who were gracious enough to let him work when he was able and take off when he was sick, still keeping him on the payroll.
