They might (they'd better!) give me more info on him to work with. I thought finding him in the census would be easy - didn't realize there would be so many! I do know he was born CT between 1850-1860, married in Berkshire Co., MA about 1878, divorced by 1890, and the family didn't hear a single word about him until about 1935 when his sister Mae/May (married? spinster?) told the family he'd died. The family assumes he died in Moodus since that is where Mae/May lived - of course I can't find her either in the censuses. :) Thank you, appreciate your taking the time to look him up for me. If you don't mind, I'll probably be in touch again after I find a bit more info on him. Regards, M'Lisa Whitney
