    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: LocalHistoryDivRPL Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.monroe/12132.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Following the 1930 census, it appears that Mowry and Dora (his wife) moved to where they could work at the Gowanda State Hospital in Erie County. This might be because he was listed as a "trained nurse", and as another has written, Industry/Rush was primarily a school for delinquents, awhile Gowanda is a psychiatric hospital. The former Gowanda State Hospital was turned into Collins/Gowanda Correctional Facility in the early 1990's. Others have posted that he was the grandson of Isaac Skinkle, and there is a family tree in WorldConnect for Isaac. OTOH, his draft card for WW I says that he is a school supervisor. He may have worked for the state, in which case there might be pension records for him. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
