To the family...please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Although we have never met, I have ties to the family as my great-grandfather, James, was step-brother to Samuel Sr in Italy then Johnstown, PA. I have some family history and a few photos that I'd be happy to share if anyone is interested. You can get my email address from this website. Sincerely...Bob Christian
