Karl, Thanks a big bunch for your information - the last site you gave me
has the lead that I think will work for the BIG 4 - became the New York
Central in 1909 from the CCC&St.L
THE CLEVELAND CINCINNATI CHICAGO AND St LOUIS RAILWAY COMPANY
This company was organized by the consolidation, effective June 30, 1889, of
the Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway Company, the
Cincinnati Indianapolis St Louis and Chicago Railway Company, and the
Indianapolis and St Louis Railway Company, articles of incorporation being
recorded with the Secretary of the State of Indiana, June 8, 1889, and with
the Secretary of the State of Ohio, June 27, 1889.

My grandfather started on the railroad abt 1900 at 7 1/2 Cents/Hr.
You asked:-"Any chance of being related to the Truelove's of Noble Co?"
Not unless we are related from England. My Truelove Family came to Southern
Indiana (Daviess and Martin Co) in 1818, the Noble Co Trueloves came much
later to Indiana. I did have an Uncle, Dr. Omer Truelove, who had his
medical Practice in Ft. Wayne in the 20 & 30's but he had no sons.
Thanks again, Kes Truelove
