Looking for information on the family of Thomas Irwin BRETT, born 26 Feb 1872 in County Sligo, Ireland. He died in May 1938 at Hillsview Sanitarium in Washington PA and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Fairmont. Thomas BRETT ran the Hammond Fire Brick Company. He was married to a woman named Alice, who was born in England about 1873. I have found 4 children: Charles, born 1902 and died before 1910; Thomas W., born 24 Mar 1904; Katherine, born about 1908; and Mary Alice, born 9 Aug 1915. The family home was 709 Benoni Ave., Fairmont. The only information I have came from a few newspaper articles. From these I learned Katherine graduated from Hollins College in Virginia in 1929, majored in psychology, and worked at the Sequim School for Subnormal Children in Orange, NJ; and Alice was still alive in the 1950's and the major stockholder, when the Hammond company went out of business.

Is anyone able to identify Alice's maiden name, spouses of the children, dates of death for any of the family, and where they are buried? Any help is appreciated.
