After many years of searching for what happened to my grandfather Abraham Pencowsky, I was able to find him listed in the Brotherhood of Painter, Decorators and Paperhangers Union Local Union 491 Waterbury Conn. He was listed in the departed section with a death benefit of $50 paid in September or October 1920. I need to find more information about the union and their records. Would they keep records as to who they paid the money to? Any suggestions as to who would have the records? I found the copy of the book on Google books and have downloaded it.
