RALPH BYRON GILLETTE b. 1 Aug 1887 Prob Nichols, New York or Harford PA d. 27
May 1971 Scranton, PA. At the time of
his death Ralph was living at the Sherwood Hotel on Genesee Street in Greene so
I'm not sure why he was in Scranton. He was
a sign painter and a builder. He and his brother Oscar Raymond Gillette bought
the movie theater in Greene in 1916. They moved
from Nichols to Greene in 1917. Later Ralph bought out Oscar and was sole
owner with his wife. He owned it until his wife's death
in 1933. Even after he sold it he continued to operate it for many years.

stand at the movie theater.

WILHELM SCHNEIDER b. 9 Nov 1903 Nobody knows when he died as he never returned

E-MAIL: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 From: "Evelyn"
(Partial)
I really want to connect on with our Dexter Carpenter b. 1837 (we think N.Y.-but no proof). He must
have been connected to the MA group. I have hit a brick wall, and just don't know where to look. We
know he died in Toronto, Canada and had a Carpenter Cigar Business there. (see below)
... Thank you so very much. Cheers! Evelyn
