    1. [NYDELAWA] Beerston Acetate Plant
    2. Catherine Cooke
    3. Hi, Recently I came across a old obituary of my G. Grandfather Marion R. Cooke. At the time of his death, he was the superintendent of the Beerston Acetate Plant at Walton, N.Y. He was killed, when his automobile was struck by a train. The obit does not have a date on it, but my Dad, who was born in 1918, remembers that he was a young boy, when the telegraph came, informing them of my G. Grandfather's death. So, I think that it may have been in the 1920s. But, does anybody know when the Plant was in business? Thanks, Catherine Cooke
