BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS-CORTLAND ALTON AND THE RAILROADS

 Cortland Alton was a conductor in the CN railroad for most of his working years.


Cortland met his wife Leonie Parkin while stationed in Lindsay. He was from Sydenham Ontario where the Alton family lived.

I need to identify the trains in the pictures.















Ad in the Kawartha newspaper.

He moved around Ontario and lived the end of his life working out of Belleville. Both he and his wife Leonie are buried in the cemetery in Belleville.
