I am hoping that someone on the list can help me with this request. My relative, Nicholas Pendergast, was murdered in 1936. The death certificate that I have is dated August 27, 1936 and it states that the date of death is unknown. He was apparently last seen at work on August 21, 1936. His body was found after it had been dead for "several days." It appears that it was found on Hadsell St. in New Marlboro. That was also where he lived for 25 years. I was hoping that there might be someone with access to the newspapers of that time who could look for news reports of his murder from August 22 to August 28. Family history has it that the "external violence to skull" was caused by an ax. I'm also wondering if anyone has suggestions on how I would go about finding out if the murder was ever solved. Thank you. Mary Theresa McCombe
