Nancy, My grandfather Wasil Simashkevich worked in the quarry in South Amherst. I believe today it is called Cleveland Quarry. It had another name prior to that though. He moved to Lorain Co. from Proctor, Rutland Co., Vt where he worked as a planer in the sandstone quarry there. He died of silicosis at the age of 65 in South Amherst.
