    Obituary
    The New York Times, Wednesday, Feb 27, 1897
    L. H. GOLDSMITH Run Over and Killed
    NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Feb.26. - L. H. GOLDSMITH aged forty-five, a resident of 14 Neptune Park, New Rochelle, was struck and killed by a train near the New Rochelle station last night. He was a fruit dealer at 25 East Twentieth Street, New York, and it was his habit to walk the track to the station every morning for the early New York train.
    He retired at his usual time last night, and his wife and family were not aware that he was not in bed until after 1 o'clock. Then an unsuccessful search was made for him. As the body was completely attired with the exception of a collar and tie, it is thought that Mr. Goldsmith was killed while in a somnambulistic state. He had suffered from grip.
    A widow, five sons, and one daughter survive.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
