I found my GGGrandfather James P. Haslam listed in 1898 directory living at 860 Robinson Ave., Milwaukee, WI. Working as an Engineer, and then in the 1890 directory same address a a switchman. In the website I found him as listed under Employees of Other Railroads.
Is there anymore information from this time frame, that I could look into, and find which railroad he worked? He was on the rails almost all his life. Coming from England, signing his 1st papers of intent to become a citizen in New Hampton, Chickasaw, Iowa, about the time the Rairoad made a connection to that area, I believe from Chicago. He lived in Buffalo, Erie, N. Y., till he got his citizenship, then moved to Eveline Twp., Charlevoix, MI.where he is listed as an Engineer. Then to Milwaukee, WI., where he is listed as an Engineer in 1880 census.
I've got alot of information, but am still in need of what R.R. he worked for.
Thanks!
