Your great uncle’s name, Cochran, has an interesting connection to the train wreck of the Nellie Bly which occurred in 1901. Check the following site for information. Interestingly, the train the Nellie Bly was named after a female Journalist, Elizabeth Jane Cochran, who used the pen name Nellie Bly as a reporter. She was born 1864 in Cochran’s Mills, PA and died in 1922. She changed the spelling of her name to Cochrane, adding the “e” for sophistication.
