Chauncey Mitchell Depew was my cousin. We shared grandparents, Richard Palgrave , 1585- 1651 and Anna Hanningfield, 1594-1669. He is my 7th cousin, 4 times removed.. My maiden name is Depew but I am more closely related through my mothers line.

In reply to Alexander Ivanoff. Yep, the station name is for the town of Depew, which was named after the man.

Any connection to the Amtrak station at Buffalo-Depew? There’s gotta be.

Thank you very much, sir. That was most definitely a typo! I’d love to see the photos too! You can always email them as well, info@iridetheharlemline.com

Oops! Typo alert!

Mr. Depew was unlikely to have been accepted at the bar in 1958. Of course, you never know. A few of our current judiciary appear to be deceased.

No mention of whether Chauncey was related to Pepe LePew. (“Come wees me to ze Cazbah!”).

BTW Catgirl, I recently visited my daughter in Scotland and took some pics of the really nice ScotRail commuter trains. Will post in comments if interested.
