Just got my uncle Vernon Edward Carson's SS-5 and it says where and who he
worked for in 1937 when he signed up and where he lived, his birthdate the
name of his mother and father. His father (my grandfather) was Parke Edward
Carson and his mother was Helen Strough. Vernon worked for American Bridge
Co. out of Chicago, ILL in their Olympia, WA Plant. I knew he belonged to
the boilermakers union. He died in the late 1980's and his last address was
in Yakima, which wasn't on the SS record but I found this out when I found
his SS# in the index.
I thought to share this with you all in hopes that someone was related or
knew of him. His brother my father Harold Park Carson was a jockey and
raced in WA, MT and CA. He knew Willy Shoemaker and he's the only one I can
think of right now. So if anyone can tell me anything please do.
Thank you,
