Good morning,
Carl B St Clair worked for a railroad as of 1920 but I have no idea where he
worked after that. I will try your suggestion and see if it leads to him.
Thank you for the lead. Do you have an address for the B & O Company? I
have found the info on the National RR board.
Thank you again.

Good morning Carole,
I read your inquiry on your grandfather. He,, like my great-grandfather
worked for the B & O RR in DeKalb Co..
Once I contacted the B & O corp. office and asked for a search/review for
his work records, I discovered a great deal of information that I did not
know. The National R.R. Board started keeping records on R.R. employees
after 1937. Prior to that date, you need to contact the R.R. Comp.
Directly.
The B & O records told me when he immigrated to the U.S., when he started
working for them, how much he made and when he received a wage increase or
changed jobs. It also stated when he retired, amount of his pension and
even
when he died.
Good luck with your search.
S.Tony

Carl B St Clair is the name of my grandfather. He deserted his
wife and daughter shortly after her birth in 1917. I have very little
info
to start with except for the info on his marriage licence to my
grandmother,
and the info on my mother's birth certificate.
I hope someone can help me with this family that appears in the 1910
Ashley, Smithfield Twp of DeKalb County.
In 1910 Mrs. C.B. St Clair 47 wd bp VT is head of the household.
Living with her are: Flora B. 21 b CO., actress in vaudeville; Carl B.
14,bp
IA; Blossom 13 bp IA and Juan F Colby, 58 bp VT and is brother of the
head
of household - Mrs C.B. St Clair. I have no idea what her first name
is -
probably Ida...
In 1920, Flora is found in Chicago living with her husband Wilbur W.
Cornell
of NY; her mother is Ida Pyatt (again a widow); Carl, age 24 - all
info
checks with the 1910 census. He is a machinist in the Rail road
shops
>From IN marriages is a listing for J.Blossom St Clair m
Thurman A. Siders 17
Apr 1919 Dekalb Co IN. I believe this to be the Blossom St Clair
of the 1910 census.
There is another large St Clair family living in De Kalb county
before 1900.
I have not been able to connect Carl B. to that family.
I am not sure if C.B. (initials of Carl's father?) died in DeKalb.
I have scoured the DeKalb website, S.S.# death index, etc and am at a loss
as to where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
