Is that JFK in the front row middle?

Years ago I went to Lehman college and was able to study Tieck’s notes that he kept when writing the books. They are archived there. My g-g-grandfather was also an Iron Moulder in the 1850’s and 1860’s at the Johnson foundry. He seems to have left around the time that they started giving work to the prisoners at Sing Sing for reduced wages. You will find more information on the Johnsons in these notes.

So interesting- my g-g-grandfather worker there as a moulder.

Thanks for sharing with everyone. My grandmother often spoke of her brother who died in WWI and who is remembered both in the booklet and on the bell tower. Her grandfather worked in the Johnson Iron foundry and she grew up and lived her entire life in Kingsbridge.
