Flint Michigan Marvel-Schebler carburetor plant blast
Bernard (Jack) Hanlon was born in Missouri and was my father's brother.  My 
father was Thomas James Hanlon.  My uncle Jack was killed in a Marvel-Schebler 
carburetor plant explosion.  His foreman Frank Waider age 50 died four hours 
after the explosion.  My uncle lived longer, but was severly burned.  There is 
an article regarding this explosion in the Flint Free Press in May 1945.  I do 
not know any other information as I was a small child living with my parents 
in Indiana and I know we traveled to Flint to be with Uncle Jack.  He and my 
father were very close.  My Dad said the two of them jumped on a train and 
rode it to Michigan to hunt for a job.  It was depression time.  This probably 
was about 1935 or 1936.  My father met my mother in Flint and Uncle Jack 
married a lady who had a daughter named Barbara.  I did not know them.  The 
funeral took place at St. Michael's Church and Mnsgr, Maurice Chawke was the 
clergyman.  Uncle Jack's final resting place is Flint Memorial Park 
Cemetery.
