    3. Lynne Norris, ---------------------------------------------------- Hi, Has anyone ever heard of this business? I got my great-grandfathers death certificate and it said that he worked in "car repair" at Big 4 (or "H"-but I think it's a "4") RR Co. My great-grandfather died 11 Sep. 1920 in Lafayette township. Thanks Lynne Norris ------------------------------------------------------ Oh yes, the Big 4 Railroad Company was a very large line at one time, especially in the Midwest. Apparently your G-grandfather repaired railroad cars for them. In those days, a railroad job was a highly sought job, so he must have been very good at his trade. Hope this helps you! Gene Harrell
