EXTRA INFORMATION ON : The Powell Family descendant from David H Powell and Catherine Russell Nicholson Powell, (the great great grandmother of my husband), their son, David H Powell Jr born December 1873 died 3 September, 1928 in Buffalo, New York was half brother of James J Nicholson, the great grandfather of my husband.
When my husband's father died in 1960, flowers were received from "The Powell Family", so I believe the families were in contact at that time (both families connected to St Thomas Aquinas Church), though no one I have mentioned them to, has heard of them. David H Powell Jr was deceased at that time, his widow and children were alive. Their 'children' would have been Marion G Nicholson Casey's half first cousins.

VETERAN PRINTER DIES: David Powell passes away following operation. David Powell, veteran printer and lineotype operator of this city, died yesterday at his home 317 Woodside Avenue. He underwent an operation less than a week ago. Mr Powell, who worked last Thursday night in the composing room of the Courier Express, just as he had for the past 16 years, had complained to fellow workmen of not feeling well. The next day he was more seriously ill and soon after went to Mercy Hospital, where he submitted to an operation from which he failed to rally.
Mr Powell regarded as one of the ableist all-round printers in the city, held the high regard of fellow craftsmen in the Buffalo Courier Express chapel and in the local branch of the Typographical Union. He was born in Buffalo, attended public school here, and served his apprenticeship in the craft on the old Buffalo Commercial, coming to the Buffalo Courier as a machine operator. He operated a linotype machine for many years and of late had been working on the make-up of the paper. He was 51 years old.
The 20th Anniversary of the marriage of Mr and Mrs Powell was celebrated August 17. Surviving, besides the widow are the following children: Kathryn, Ruth, Emma, Dorothy, David, and Eleanor Powell, who live at the home address, and Mrs Melvin Chapin, of 104 Sheffield Avenue. Two half-brothers, William and Ellsworth Nicholson live in this city.
