D. Null. It's in the genealogy department at the Boyd Co. Library in Ashland, KY...not available to check out but I can make a copy of his story in it if you like). According to the book he was walking along DT&I train tracks and was killed. Now, there seems to be another John Brannigan in the same area....father? uncle? I'm not related to this family at all so I have no idea: http://www.lawrencecountyohio.com/civilwar/obits/brannigan.htm I also attached a picture of the train tracks where he was killed. If you go to Google Maps and in the search bar copy/paste this: "38.675877,-82.693113" and zoom way in you can see the tracks and get a feel for the area...the town is no longer there but it was called Superior and not far from there you can see the remains of the Marquette Cement Factory. John was a foreman at the plant there. Hope this helps! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
