    Picked this up today as part of a small purchase. 3 of the 4 names are pretty easy to identify and I believe are all deceased.

    What do you guys do when you come across these? I feel like I should probably try to get it back to one of the families.

    Also any help on the 3rd name is appreciated.

    1). George Heydon
    R.F.D. #1
    Factoryville PA

    2) Lloyd Brosius
    427 Rumbold Ave
    North Tonawanda New York

    3) Charles (??)
    1320 N Delaware
    Indianapolis Indiana

    4) George Granger
    730 E North St
    Morris Ill

    thanks for looking. Any help on the names or ideas on the note are appreciated.

    The surname of the third man looks to be Moly to me. Interesting that full addresses are supplied...very unusual. I would definitely pull one out of change but have never seen one in the "wild"

    Neat. Would be cool if you could track down a descendant of one of the men.

    I'm going to check out some of the names on the note to see if I can come up with any info on their families. On looking closer I think the third man's surname might be Nealy or Nealey.

    The address for the third man (Nealy?) is an apartment building called The Harrison so he would have lived there. It was built in 1935 so it fits the time frame. Six stories and 84 units at the time it was built. Nothing specifically on him because I'm still not sure of his last name. I've attached a picture of the building.

    Sorry I couldn't attach the photo for some reason. I'll try again later.
