| The following information sent by a living relative of Thomas Maddox:- |
| Thomas Maddox was a fairly interesting guy. He was a born and bred railwayman and I
luckily do have a photo of him with his engine,(see below) though I do not know where it was taken.
He took his family to the USA to seek his fortune and was an engine driver in Pennsylvania.
He, however, was a religious man and could not abide the rough, blaspheming men he had
to work with and they returned home. His old cabin trunk used to be in our home when I
was a boy. He apparently suffered with bad legs which he blamed on the years stood in
front of the firebox. I think he became station master at Worcester.
His daughter Susie May, my grandmother, was a delightful lady but she died when I was
only 4 or 5 years old. |
