Maybe you can help me, I am searching for info on my grandfather. In the 1930 census he is listed as living in Dennison, OH and his occupation was either engineer or brakeman for what they listed as steam Raidroads. Does any of this sound familar to you or can you put me in contact with someone who could help? Thank you for any help possible. Dawn Resol tresol@abts.net |

If he lived in Dennison in 1930, he was probably a Pennsylvania Railroad employee, although the Baltimore & Ohio ran through Uhrichsville, just a couple of miles away. There is a museum in the Dennison station now, perhaps they could tell you more about the area in 1930. JAC Dennison Railroad Museum |

There may be a file at the Railroad Retirement Administration if he lived that long. I don't know haow to get there directly; but the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania web site has a link to it. They are rmpa.org. Great site! ted_miles@nps.gov |

This may also help, found at the page linked below: Two sources of Pennsylvania Railroad employee information as collected by the PRR Voluntary Employee Relief Department may be found in public archives. This organization represented the families of ill and injured PRR employees as a fund to disburse cash as payment for suffering: Temple University Urban Archives Paley Library 13th and Berks Streets Philadelphia, PA 19128 Pennsylvania State Archives 350 North Street Harrisburg, PA 17120-0090 JAC Information on Pennsylvania RR employees |
