This is the final image from the employment file of Thomas Frame from the records of the Pullman Car Company. It’s one of the most informative cards in the file.

It indicated that as of the time the card was compiled Thomas was living at 2543 1[??]th Street and was a polisher in the paint department who had been with the company 20 years. The 65-year old had three relatives who also worked with the company, three sons Ralph, Ted, and Frank (adopted).

The indication that Thomas had four children is not correct, but it is the same number given on the other card. It may be that the number of children was copied from one card to another and that the information was given at a point in time when Thomas had four children still living at home who were dependent upon him for support.

Employment records for the three children of Thomas who are listed on the card have not been obtained. Now may be a good time to do that. Records of his son William have been obtained as William is my children’s great-great-grandfather.

There may be additional clues in the records of those other children of Thomas.
