    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: House, Miller, Shaw Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zZB.2ACI/590 Message Board Post: I'm the great-grandson of Dr. Charles H. Hale of Boswell, but I'm looking for information about the Houses and/or Millers from whom I'm descended and all of whom resided in Hugo at the time of the 1910 census, specifically: -- Roy D. House (my grandfather; killed in El Paso in 1925 when struck by a passenger train); briefly operated a store in Hugo that he opened sometime in 1919 or 1920 -- Harry A. House, his little brother -- Maud O. Miller-House-Hanna, great-grandmother; residing in Hugo with her second husband, Oscar W. Hanna who was a rr conductor -- Will House, great-grandfather; who, sometime before 1910 had been killed in a railroad accident. I presume he worked for the Frisco. He is said to have been killed when he fell from the cowcatcher of a moving locomotive. Don't know when or where. -- Charles R. Miller, Maud's brother; he was a rr conductor -- Myrtle Shaw, who was listed as a 20-year-old Mexican servant, but because of other information I've come across, I suspect she was most likely a relative of the Houses. Grandfather House left Hugo, probably in 1920, because of a failed marriage with my grandmother, Lillian Hale-House, who had returned home to Boswell with my infant father . He went to El Paso where he eventually opened a dry cleaning business, the Manhattan Cleaning Works. He was killed on Feb. 2, 1925, when a passenger train struck the car in which he and his cousin were delivering laundry. He is buried in the Masonic area of Concordia Cemetery in El Paso. By 1925, Oscar, Maud and Harry had joined him in El Paso. I don't know what happened to any of them. I wish I did. If you have any information to share regarding any of these folks, I'd appreciate getting it.
