Thanks Peg. I only have a photo of him from there and he has a bird in one hand and a rifle in the other. Obviously it was not a picture of him at work. I don't know much else besides that.

He and my great-aunt lived there for many years. I had a heck of a time getting his records, but finally got them (for a small fortune). 135 pages of delightful and sometimes distressful reading. I can get you the address where I got them, but not for a while. We are in FL for the winter and all of those things are at home.... Next time one of my children call, I will ask if they can look up that info for me and get it to you. I know it took me a LOT of letter writing and research to find out WHERE to send for them. After that it was just the wait.... It was well worth it. It was almost a daily record of his life working there. If you know what your grandfather did while living there, it would help. Will make a note to myself to get it for you, if you don't have any luck before I head home.
