Working on the railroad

This is a photo of my Grandfather, Audray Oliver Allen, taken when he worked for the railroad as a very young man. Not sure of date taken. He was born in 1900 and died in 1936. Photo probably dates from around 1918 to 1923.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
