Bernard, An article about the accident in 1911 in the Port Jervis Tri-States Union states the undertaker was C.L. Terwilliger & Son & internment was at Pond Eddy. Article said that he hadn't worked for the Erie railroad very long & little was known about him. Charles L. Terwilliger's business later became Terwilliger - Woolsey & was in Port Jervis. Perhaps the business still exists? Might they have historical records? It looks like Pond Eddy might only have three cemeteries: http://www.newyork-genealogy.com/Pond-Eddy-Genealogy.cfm Perhaps contact each one to see if Owen MORGAN is there, if there is a headstone, if the cem office has any other info? Regards, Sherri I am trying to find my great-grandfather Owen Morgan parents. I have been trying for 25 years now with little luck. Owen was from Ireland and settled in Manhattan around 1892. This year I finally got a clue to Owen's death, due to the transcribing upstate death records: an Owen Morgan of New York, recently employed as trackman on the Erie Railroad, was hit and killed by a freight train on 4th October 1911, and buried at the village of Pond Eddy. So three months ago I wrote the NYS for a copy of his death certificate, and still waiting? The website says it can take up to eight months! I would go the National Archives in New York City and look him up in the State index for deaths, however as of last Saturday the National Archive reading rooms across the county are now closed on all Saturdays of the month. I wrote to the Town of Lumberland which includes the village of Pond Eddy, however they have no records of his burial in the town. I have written to his Catholic parish back in Manhattan to see if they have a record of his death. And I will write to the Catholic church that oversees the Catholic chapel and its cemetery in Pond Eddy, NY. (Last time I did that I received a bill from New Cavalry for the past 100 years up kept of wife paupers grave.) So I am again at a lose on what to do next? Worse: the Erie Railroad and incident happen on the south side of the Delaware river in Pennsylvania. And death record says that a justice of the peace was sent for from Pennsylvania, to act as corner. Ancestry.com does have the Pennsylvania death index, however Owen is not to be found in 1911.
