I am also researching my genealogy and have a very similar newspaper article about my great-great uncle in Lynn, MA. He was walking home from work in a blizzard in January of 1905 and struggled to make it home but got help along the way by a Good Samaritan. Unfortunately, as soon as he made it home and sat down, he died. I wish I could attach it so you could see because I think your site it really wonderful and so comprehensive! I love all the info and great resource links =D
