His occupation is given on the Final Application Petition as a "common laborer" and he resided at 17 Main Street, Yorkville, NY.

In the 1910 U.S. Census, the family resided at 30 Main St., Whitesboro and his occupation was listed as "laborer" in a gun factory. This was probably Savage Arms in Utica.

Burial: Grand View Cemetery, Whitesboro, NY
Occupation: partner in Eggers-Caryl & Corrigan

Notes for Irene Gray:
My mother told me Irene's children's names were Kenneth and Marcy Hungerford, but her first husband's surname was Marcy, so maybe her daughter married a Hungerford?... At the time of her marriage to Aaron, her occupation on the marriage license was given as Broker. Well, now my mother says she thinks Irene's first husband was a Hungerford, her second a Marcy, and Aaron was actually the 3rd. Will have to find another source of info for this.

The Social Security Death Index gives her date of death as January 1985, so now I will have to find an obituary for her to determine her children's names.
