1800 Philippines
Teen hit by train exhumed nearly 100 years later for chance to ID him
Sharing buttons:
everyone some mothers boy that's what's
engraved on the headstone of the
unidentified team he was hit by train in
Georgetown Kentucky in 1921 in Clues
showed that he lived a privileged life
and a link to Cincinnati local
12-stepper Dixon tells us about the
effort to find his family after 96 years
[Applause]
the people of Georgetown took up a
collection to bury the brown haired
blue-eyed boy around 17 years old with a
headstone naming him some mother's boy
if you're a mother or even a father I
mean just a parent to spend your whole
life wondering where is my baby where's
my child I can't imagine the teenager
came out from under a boxcar at the
Georgetown Depot one April night in 1921
he ran to catch a slow-moving passenger
train on another track and was hit he
got there riding the rails on Southern
Railways royal palm passenger train out
of Cincinnati that travel between
Midwest cities to Jacksonville Florida
in 1921 the local newspaper referred to
the teenager as well-bred because he had
tailored clothes on with monogrammed
buttons a watch with two engravings and
even a laundry tag that said Jones the
watch was engraved with AWA on the back
inside the timepiece was engraved l HD
we don't think he was riding the rails
in the traditional sense of the hobos he
was well dressed
he had a watch he had he was well kept
well groomed not that someone like that
deserves more attention but someone like
that someone is more likely to be
missing him forensic anthropologist
Emily Craig works special projects for
nameís the National Missing and
unidentified persons system the
exclamation is about getting a DNA
profile and possibly finding a relative
in the DNA database a tooth found in the
grave will help his mother and father
will help should be passed away just
simply because of the time it's gone by
but he could have nieces nephews he
could have cousins there's a and his
mother and father buried somewhere and
my goal is to get him back with his
parents
the FBI has agreed to pay for DNA
testing and there are other options this
guy is a missing leaf off of a family
tree so if we don't find it in the
traditional CODIS
type of DNA we could approach
ancestry.com we have a lot of people
that we could reach out to in this was
he a runaway going to Florida on spring
break or riding the rails for adventure
one thing is certain he's some mother's
boy and it's time for him to go home
