Step-brother Pliny John Fetterly

Marjorie's step-brother, Pliny John Fetterly:

"The other brother was Pliny and he returned to Cornwall and he had suffered shrapnel wounds for which I think he got a pension all his life.  He came back and I remember the day he came back. I was having  my nap up in an upper room in our  home in my mother and father's. I was  just a little tot.  I remember being in bed  and I heard  him come  to the front door  and all the excitement downstairs while I was supposed to be napping, and they said, "Pliny is home from the war !" The house just blew apart with excitement!  He came running upstairs to see me and carried me downstairs."


According to the 1930 US Census, Pliny immigrated to the United States on 1 Sep 1919, when he was about 22 years old through Nyando, New York.  He had his 1st wife, Winnifred Mae Hollister, with him. (Immigration record:  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XGCD-LNT)
