Hello List, I have a question that perhaps one of you may know the answer...? My g-grandfather was a fireman for the Rock Island Railroad. He died in 1913. Does anyone know if employment records are still around somewhere for that railroad, that long ago? My G-grandfather, Fredrick S. Cole is my brick wall. I can't seem to find out where he is from. Thought employment info might have something. Also,,does anyone know what B. of L.F.& E.(No.33) stand for? Fred Cole was a member in good standing and had (life) insurance through them, they also sent a rep (R.A. Ashby) to St. Joseph to return with his remains to Trenton. Perhaps it's a railroad union???
