Joseph Leander Raby b. 1878, Burningtown, NC
Joseph Raby was the brother of my greatgrandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Naomi Raby Pipkin. It appears Joseph traveled extensively and I have read tin-type photo postcards he sent her from Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. Family stories say he was on the Titanic when it sunk. I have searched in vain for his name on the passenger and/or crew list. The family thinks he worked as a steward in the restaurant on the ship.
Have any of you heard this story? Joseph was the son of James Russell Raby.
