JOHN "JACK" CARNEY HAS BEEN FOUND!

Date of Death:  24 July 1933

Through a Facebook and a group of researchers, as those here, my great uncle was found! 

First of all, I want to thank the gentleman here who provided me with my first and only photo of Jack which was a priceless gift. 

A week ago a member of another group find newspaper clippings indicating Jack was found in the hold of a ship after it had been fumigated, apparently as a stowaway.  That's so very sad because he worked as a dental mechanic on so many vessels and we'll never know why he had to stowaway.  So, let me see if I can post these articles as I've not been successful in the past due to size.

Once again, I am not successful in post the 4 photos I have so perhaps someone can help?  Thank you.
