    2. Hi everyone, I've asked about my uncle before, but it was some time ago. Maybe somebody new to the list may know of him. This is the only one of my grandfather's brothers that I'm having trouble with. Matt was born in Poland on 17 Feb 1882. Census records (if I'm reading the handwriting correctly) say he arrived in America in 1902 or 1903. Two other brothers arrived in America in 1903 - one in New York, the other in Philadelphia. Matt did not travel with either of his brothers. -- Matt's W.W.I Draft Registration shows him living in Witt (Montgomery Co.), Illinois in 1918. -- 1920 US Census shows him living with the Pristach family at 310 E. Fourth St., Johnston City, IL. -- In 1922 Matt's brother, Albert, was working with him in the coal mines for the winter. The two men were walking across the railroad tracks when Albert was hit by a passenger train and killed - 7 Jan 1922. -- In June 1937, when Matt filled out an SS-5 form for his SSN, he was living at 1014 W. 5th St., Johnston City, IL. He was working for W.P.A. in Johnston City. Can anyone help me with Matt? Does anyone know of him? I can't seem to find his naturalization paperwork. (The other three brothers all filed in Logan County, where they married and raised their families.) Matt never married and never had children -- to the best of my knowledge. Any information on Matt will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Carol in So. California Researching: Twardos, Wne~k, Swierkocz, Abel, Fleckenstein, Gottfried, Krebs
