I have found a person with Arthur's half-brothers name in Brooklyn, New York. I am not sure if it is the same person but, since the census were in Brooklyn, it is possible.

I am having trouble tracking down phone numbers and/or addresses for the brother and his relatives.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sunshine - I found this record which fits. Ruth could be a the wife or daughter?

I will research this angle and see if I can get anywhere with the half brother in a little bit.

Thank you for helping me, Dream!

Half-brother Harold's obit:
HAROLD HATTON , 73, RETIRED KNITTER MECHANIC -
Staten Island Advance (NY) - Saturday, August 8, 1998
Author: Staten Island Advance

Harold J. Hatton , 73, of Great Kills, a retired knitter mechanic, died Wednesday in Sisters of Charity Medical Center, St. Vincent's Campus, West Brighton. Born in Brooklyn, he moved to Great Kills in 1995.
<snip>
Surviving is his wife of 45 years, the former Katherine Kennedy; three daughters, Katherine Hatton , Teresa Fagan and Eileen Donohue; a sister, Helen Scott; a step-brother, Arthur Harning, and two grandsons.

This gives us the name of his wife and children. I found another article with this mention of Katherine and Teresa, which gives Teresa's town.
"Katherine Hatton , Great Kills , 'We had a small family gathering at my daughter's [Terry Fagan] home in Eltingville.' "

I can't find an obit for Katherine so she may still be alive...if not, there is a town for Teresa, so someone could perhaps track her down. She would be the half-niece of Arthur (assuming the census info above is for the right Arthur, and I believe it is).

Dream and I tracked down one or two of them...I don't remember who off the top of my head. I sent the info to Raine and NM but don't think I have heard anything back from them.

Hi guys, we are working all the info you have submitted the ME in WA works shift work and is off for several days in a row. We will update as soon as we are notified. I am thinking a match but it has not been confirmed.
Raine

will try to get an update
