Wendelin, we hardly knew ya!

OMG, look what Larry found on Ancestry.com regarding grandpa's brother Wendelin:

Whew--we have NO family stories about this.

(Grand Larceny--(Law) (in some states of the US) the theft of property of which the value is above a specified figure, varying from state to state but usually being between $25 and $60).
  
At first glance, you might say, "Wait, UTAH?"  But Wendelin worked for the Santa Fe railroad, which went thru Salt Lake City.  He was listed in directories as a freight handler--on a moving train, perhaps?
I suspect it was an accusation that was recorded, dealt with, and never removed once they found the missing freight envelope behind the file cabinet.  But wow, unassuming ol' Wendelin seems to be chuck fulla SECRETS, huh?
