There are also obituaries of PTC employees, some with annotations mentioning membership in societies such as the “Mystic Cross Comandry #98 of the Ancient and Illustrious Order of Knights of Malta.” Finally, there is a card dated December 30, 1946 to “#70 George Albright Foreman at his retirement from service after 37 years.” Foreman officially retired from the PTC in 1947.
