I have gotten a pension record for my grandfather's brother who worked for the railroad in North Adams MA and in New York City. It gave me quite a bit of information including how much he was paid, when and where he married his wife, other places he worked after the RR, when he died and some info about his wife. If you look at the SSDI and it says RR he probably received a RR pension.

My grandfather, Simon Theodore Petravick died in May, 1918 and is likely buried in St Joseph's cemetary in North Adams. I'm not sure where his residence was. I am guessing N. Adams because of the place of burial, and because his borhter in law resided there. He sold a farm in Cheshire in 1915. He was married in St. Stan's in Adams in 1902. How does one find a death record for him? -- Don __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi, See 2nd generation at the end of this email. Seeking info on where Avery POWERS and Clara D. CLARK POWERS disappeared? I found them in the 1880 census but not in the 1910 census for Vermont or Massachussetts. After son, Avery POWERS, sold the property he inherited from his father, Milton POWERS; his mother, Ellen Desiah MOWRY POWERS, moved in with her daughter, Mattie [Martha] Ann POWERS CROSIER in Rutland, VT. I'm assuming Green River is very near Halifax, VT. MANY THANKS in advance, Janice Jordan in VT <[email protected]> Here are some more details: === 1st generation Milton POWERS, son of Jonathan and Elizabeth DALY POWERS, was born 18 Feb. 1831, Orange, Orange, VT, married 25 Oct. 1864 in Wiliamstown, Berkshire, MA, Ellen Desiah MOWRY, and died 14 Jan. 1899 in Halifax, Windham, VT. === 2nd generation: 1) Martha Ann POWERS, my maternal great grandmother, was born 7 July 1865 in Williamstown, Berkshire, MA, married on 22 Sept. 1886 Orval Henry CROSIER, and died 22 Feb. 1936. * 2) Avery K. POWERS was born about 1874 in Vermont and married Clara D. CLARK. Also, seeking his death date which is after 1930 in probably MA.
