I am coming to believe that these two gentleman are two of the
same. Both were born in Templeton, Worcester Cty., Mass. I would love
some input. It is so hard when a child is given up, apparently during

were around in the Franklin/Worcester area around 1910.
I am doing this research for my children as Leonard Dyer was my
