What a fun discovery, and to realize you're among such elite neighbors 😇

My thoughts were, after looking up Bright's disease, that suffering from kidney disease & diabetes in the 1900's had to be pretty miserable, and that Ewing must've been pretty savvy in his row house investments since his $60,000 estate equates to about $2 mil in today's dollars - far better than most ballplayers of those bygone days ended up with - per CPI inflation calc at bls.gov.

Here's hoping that bio shows him to have been a nicer person than the one JVL profiled!

Swifty, my in-laws live 2:30:00 south of Cooperstown. It's only an hour west of Albany. We should plan for a weekend up there. It's got a noon whistle for the workers in the mills.
