THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR – Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association, Volume 33, August 1997, Number 1:
TORREY, CECIL F., 80, widower of Maxine (Hazzard) Torrey, father of Norman 
Torrey and Marilyn Possehn, brother of Charles, Clare and Chalmer Torrey and 
Marie Burgess, son of Glenn and Katie (Brooks) Torrey.  He was the last of 
the “Gandy Dancers” – section hands – for the old Pere Marquette Railroad.  
Others were Bert Towner, John Henry and Voight McDiarmid, plus Ray Barnard in 
the early years.  I personally have seen these four men take four long-handled 
ratchet jacks and lift a fully loaded coal car back onto the tracks.  Uncle 
Bob Slowinski was once their supervisor.
