Yes! See what I have below. My interest stems from Henry Michels wife Anna Neis sister to my great-grandmother Margaretha Neis Bold. My connection to that generation was closer, perhaps, than yours. That's how I happened to receive and preserve the photo albums that belonged to my grandparents with all their relatives "back east". I may have some more information on the Uniontown WA line in the vertical file but first must look. I'll get the photos together to send. Joe
