PAGE TEN THE RYE CHRONICLE Friday, April 13, 1945


The newspaper article is the only evidence we can find on this veteran and his brother Reese. Neither brothers are found in any census records (1930 and 1940) where their foster father Arthur J. Michaels is found. They are also not mentioned in his obituary.

After an extensive search we can not find any information on either brother or their relationship to Rye, NY.
