    1. [PAERIE] Railroad info & the disappearance of Daniel Caughlin...
    2. Anyone know which railroads were being built in Erie Co in 1930? I have a gggrandfather, Daniel Caughlin, who worked as a section-hand for many years in Erie Co, but by 1930 his wife--Lena was living with their oldest son--Roy Caughlin and I can't locate Daniel on the 1930 c.r. (Aside: Lena stated that she was still married on the 1930 c.r.) Daniel disappeared at some point b/w 1930 and 1950. No one in our family knows what happened to him. However, Lena's obit (Oct. 1950) stated that Daniel had already died. He's not in the SSDI and the state of PA has no record of his death. Erie Co Courthouse and library have no record of his death either. I'm hoping that someone may know of a railroad that was being built at that time that lead from Erie Co to somewhere?, so I can check that state for a death record/obit or perhaps locate a pension record. Thank you for any info/suggestions! Sincerely, Stacey Rego
