Was hoping someone would have some information on a distant relative: Raymond Gilchrist, born: Nov. 23, 1866, Jersey City, Parents: Robert and Frederica. Raymond owned a manufacturing company, The Gilchrist Company, Newark, NJ., 1900 - 1927, He invented and manufactured soda fountain items.. Noted for his patented Ice Cream Scoops, The company was purchased by Hamilton Beach, 1927. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated... Any suggestions for resources in Newark that would help me.. Please pass it along... Sue Wilson
