Delila Duffy dduffy@wildbluecoop.com I'm wondering if there is more information available on: "CHARLES MAJOR'S COUSIN MET ACCIDENTAL DEATH John L. Major Killed by a Passenger Train While in World's Fair City John L. Major, Austin, Indiana, a cousin of Charles Major, author of "When Knighhood Was in Flower," and formerly a resident of Indianapolis, was killed by a Chicago & Alton passenger train on Main street in St Louis Saturday." . . . Is there any information on this John L. Major? Who his father is, his mother's maiden name? John's wife's, & children's names? When & where John was born. According to the article, John died in St. Louis (Missouri?) Also, where might this John L. Major be buried? Your help would mean SO much to me! Delila M.
