Stretch in Tx, Tn, Pa, Nj railroad builders?
I'm trying to find info on William M Stretch who was born in Tn in 1857, moved to philadelphia with his family as a boy, and then to Texas at about 19.He died in 1920 in Meridian, Bosque county, Tx.I have info on his wife and children but cannot figure out where he came from other than the info listed in his obituary.There is no mention of parents or siblings names.My father(his great grandson) heard stories of him hopping trains to Texas to help build the railroad but I don't know anything more than that.I do have a photo with the incription "William Stretch's brother" of a white haired man who possibly had a glass eye on the right side?It's a postcard photo that was printed in Pa.If anyone can help me I would love to hear from you.
