jasw Posted 6 June , 2009 Share Posted 6 June , 2009 Hi James, I had a look through my files and I have not located a Draft Registration Card for Charles yet via Ancestry. Will have another look around and see what I can find. Take care, -Daniel That'd be great, Daniel, let me know. Meanwhile, here's his photo -- turns out what I had was something my mother had an art shop do because of the quality of the original photo. My mother lent me the original, though, which I vastly prefer, despite the quality: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 7 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 7 June , 2009 Hi James, This is great. I have updated my page with the photo and your corrections; please let me know what you think: http://ph0ebus13.googlepages.com/thewallst...tember16%2C1920 Would you want me to cite you by name on the page for the photo? Thanks, -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 9 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 9 June , 2009 Hi James, Was Charles' father named Charles V. (occupation pressman in a printing office) and his mother Maria M.? If so I have his entry in both the 1900 and 1910 Brooklyn census via Ancestry. Let me know if it is him and if so I'll send it along. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 12 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 12 June , 2009 Hi James, all... James, I just filled your inbox with stuff from Ancestry. It appears the 'Olof Lindroth' on thr 1900 Census was Charles' younger brother, born in 1899. Given he disappears from the 1920 census (though Charles was still at home), I have a suspicion that he may have passed away by that point, perhaps in the War. Certainly he was alive in 1904 on his trip aboard the Arabic. This might be info on his record of birth: Name: Olof V. L. Lindroth Birth Date: 01 Sep 1899 (in Brooklyn) Certificate Number: 14822 I could find no draft registration card for him via Ancestry, and nothing via Find A Grave nor CWGC. Anyone want to try and find what became of Olof? I will keep looking, but would welcome the help. I have not looked for American Great War Casualties before. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 8 September , 2010 Author Share Posted 8 September , 2010 Hi all, With the 90th Anniversary of this event only eight days away, I am hoping someone will help me identify the twelfth soldier killed in this event. As a reminder, the page I created is found here: The Wall Street Explosion: September 16, 1920 The complete list of the dead is as follows: Arambarry, Joseph, Age 27 Bishop, Margaret Helen, Age 21 Dickinson, Carolyn M., Age 40 Donohue, John A., Age 38 Drury, Marguerite A., Age 29 Ellsworthy, Reginald, Age 23 Ellsworth, Worth Bagley, Age 20 Flannery, Bartholomew, Age 19 Gilles, Harold I., Age 27 Hantahan, Charles A., Age 17 Huger, Amelia Newton, Age 23 Hutchinson, William Fulton, Age 43 Johnson, John, Age 58 Joyce, William A., Age 29 Kehrer, Elmer Wallace, Age 21 Kennedy Jr., Bernard F., Age 30 Leith, Alexander, Age 64 Lindroth, Charles A., Age 25 Mayer, Alfred G., Age 23 McKean, Jerome H., Age 33 McClure, Colin Barr, Age 25 Miller, Franklin G., Age 21 Neville, Colonel Charles, Age 42 Osprey, Thomas Montgomery, Age 24 Peck, Theodore, Age 36 Peterson, William Ernst, Age 29 Phillips, Alfred G., Age 28 Portong, Ludolph A., Age 29 Schmitt, Joseph, Age 30 Smith, Lewis K., Age 34 Soloway, Benjamin, Age 16 Stoba, Francis Dauzell, Age 34 Sweet, Edwin A., Age 67 Tannenwald, Irving T., Age 38 Westbay, Robert, Age 16 Weir, John W., Age 27 White, William West, Age 63 Xylander, Mildred, Age 46 I think we can safely eliminate those too young or old for military service during the Great War, as well as those already ID'd as soldiers...I have crossed their names out on the list above What is the likelihood of any of the women (in bold italics) being veterans? Thoughts on next steps? -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph0ebus Posted 31 May , 2011 Author Share Posted 31 May , 2011 Hi all, I am planning to visit and photograph two of the graves of those veterans killed during this event, who are buried in Brooklyn. Sadly, almost a year after my last post I have not succeeded in identifying the mysterious twelfth veteran killed in the bombing. The search continues... Of course, if anyone else wants to have a go at this, by all means, feel free! Daniel PS: I have a fresh email out to the NY Times to see if perhaps they have any archival information that might settle the matter. Also, I found where John A. Donohue is buried: Burial: Calvary Cemetery Woodside Queens County New York, USA And: Lewis K. Smith: Burial: Greenfield Cemetery Uniondale Nassau County New York, USA Plot: section 17 And: William West White: Green-Wood Cemetery Brooklyn Kings County New York, USA And: Worth Bagsley Ellsworth: Burial: Glenwood Cemetery Washington District of Columbia District Of Columbia, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph0ebus Posted 1 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 1 June , 2011 This morning I found a lead on the fellow who may be my twelfth man: Theodore Peck. See: http://books.google.com/books?id=vcwMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA362&lpg=PA362&dq=%22Peck,+Theodore%22+Jamesville&source=bl&ots=OishlUhb02&sig=V5UV0hYpzWJlRNxFdxIyK-usX0A&hl=en Page 362. Now, to see if this is the same fellow... Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 2 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 June , 2011 In scrolling back to page 357 I am seeing this fellow is in the list of soldiers who died of disease...would you interpret this the same way? If that is the case, then it's back to the drawing board. As an aside, this book is a great resource. It is a bit maddening that the photos seem to be in no particular order. -Daniel PS, now have located the grave of: Bishop, Margaret Helen, Age 21 - Buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronk, New York, USA, Plot D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 3 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 3 June , 2011 Eureka! I found the twelfth man: From the New York Tribune, dated September 19, 1920: "Franklin G. Miller, who died in the Broad Street Hospital, will be buried this afternoon from his home, 700 West 179th Street. He was a Lieutenant in the naval air force during the war." It took a while, but all 12 men now present and accounted for. Thanks for bearing with me... Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph0ebus Posted 6 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 6 June , 2011 Hm, even though he was buried with full military honours in Washington, no one in any official capacity seems to know where Col. Charles A. Neville is buried. I contacted the VA and they replied: Response via Email Via Email (Dept of Veterans Affairs) 06/06/2011 08:27 AM I regret that the VA does not have burial records for all veterans. You may wish to try to obtain a copy of his death certificate.

ph0ebus Posted 11 June , 2011 Author Share Posted 11 June , 2011 Another tidbit: I made contact with the grand nephew of John Weir. Lovely fellow and I am learning a lot about John that may perhaps be added to the site...stay tuned. -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph0ebus Posted 20 July , 2011 Author Share Posted 20 July , 2011 A lead on Francis Stoba just went ice cold. Such is the way of things... It is really too bad that I cannot find more photos of these men. The next step is to order service records for each from the NYS Archives. The search continues! -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle Posted 20 July , 2011 Share Posted 20 July , 2011 I found him via Ellis too. On May 08, 1903, he and his two brothers arrived from Plymouth on the 'Graf Waldersee' (departed April 27, 1903) and the manifest lists them as American Citizens. Literally, the manifest says nothing else about him or his brothers. -Daniel Colin's parents also travelled on the Graf Waldersee on the same date. There were only 20 passengers on the boat and 25% of them were McClures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
