Great idea about Laurel Heights Hospital -- but no joy. I called the Shelton City Hall just now and the Town Clerk very kindly looked up the death records for me but found no Fred Andrew from 1906 to 1909. Any other ideas? He was a Russian Jewish immigrant -- were there Jewish hospitals in the Fairfield County area?
