Actually, Alahambra should be Alhambra. It's not far from where I live. I've done three tours of jury duty in the Alhambra Superior Court. When I saw the William Taber was a engineer, I wondered if he worked for Lehigh Valley. It's likely that he knew my great-grandfather John P. Hart, who was also a engineer for LVRR. Unfortunately, my g-gf was killed in a train derailment at Throop's Crossing (Throop's Station) in April 1904.
