Marilyn: As a researcher of Nova Scotia railway history I am interested in any details you may have of the life of Eugene Wyman Cleveland (b. Claremont NS, 1857-1934) and his brother William Fitch Cleveland. I believe these two men were instrumental in the development of the "Cleveland" type steam locomotive that was used briefly on Canadian railways in the early 1900s. I have data from Automated Genealogy and Family Search, but nothing there indicates that Eugene, the leading principal in a Toronto firm with an Arthur Petersen, had any engineering gtraining.His obituary in the Vancouver Sun of 1934 does not give any helpful details either. Any assistance greatly appreciated.
