They came to New York City and then by New York Central train to Marion to the home of Thomas Mitchell, who had imigrated to America a few years earlier. They found work on the construction of the Rome, Watertown, & Ogdensburg (RW&O) railroad between Ontario and Williamson. They lived in a boarding house on Kenyon Rd (formerly Orebed Rd).
