Karen, Thank you for your generous sharing. The story about Robert Quayle standing on the top of a train and hitting a bridge is one I have also heard about another relative. My relative survived but was permanently disabled. I am wondering how William Mooney connects with others. Do you think that he is a descendant of Lydia Tillotson and Andrew Mooney?

Kirsten, I just came across the Mooney obit looking for someone else, added it to rootsweb if it would help someone. No connection to Sickles. The William Mooney that was a son of Lydia Tillotson and Andrew Mooney, his dates are 1860-1936). Is that your Sarah Best? I made the copy of Wm Mooney because I thought it might fit in my group. My mother's brother married a Henderson that goes back to William Henderson that married Rachel Ann Tillotson, Lydia's sister. Another sister married a Michael McConnnel. We seem to have a lot in common research.
