   I was looking up some of the people from my old neighborhood, and was looking on Davidson st. I use to play baseball in the playground -parking lot of old school 7 back in the sixties, one day in 1967 there was a hurse across the street from where we were playing ball, there were a lot of steps leading up into the home. there were only two guys who were trying to bring a body out of the house at 215 s Davidson, they yelled across the street “can any of you boys help us with this ” a couple of my friends and I went over to help, we knew it was a body, but none of us had ever been that close to a body, anyway we helped get the gurney down the steps, I have never forgotten that day, then yesterday as I said I was looking up some of the people who lived there in my neighborhood, and I saw the persons name, I searched find a grave and found him, it told he was a – THIS IS A COPY AND PASTE – Occupation Packer for Atkins Saw Works on S Illinois Street, then today I opened my mail and there is this article about Atkins Saw
