from "the philadelphia inquirer" we see a newspaper account of his death. i checked to see if there were any pensions at the time. and unfortunately pensions were not issued to postal carriers killed in the line of duty at that point. we see his widow, anna, listed as his widow. magdalena fredrickson had a pension for the remainder of her life. she worked as a tailoress. samuel auguay lewis's identity was a mystery. it was said he was from baltimore. we had several problems with his line. first, it was said he was from baltimore. his middle name augay was spelled incorrectly. and we also had the issue with the common name. i was able to find through a wonderful website called paroots.com that he actually was from westchester county, pennsylvania. and volunteerism is the backbone of genealogy. several volunteers posted several things that enabled me to find information on this wonderful family. i learned that his brother, caleb, was working for the railroad as an executive and his brother was criticized for hiring practices in 1860. that criticism may have l
