Peleg Kenyon and the Grim Fortune of a Yankee Thief
Peleg Kenyon, a 60 year old bachelor from Griswold, made a $105000 haul from his employer Henry Henderson but died a lonely, ostracized man. He spent years amassing wealth through real estate and mortgages in Massachusetts, while his theft and the subsequent custody battle with Henderson dominated his life. He left most of his fortune to the heir of an early Hob importer.

Old Stories and Long-Lived Horses in 19th Century Notes
A fragment from a Chicago Herod piece recalls veterans sharing Shiloh memories and aging reflections as the war becomes an old story. It shifts to Horse longevity, linking sturdy build to endurance, then to microbes and life theory from Pasteur, and ends with notes on industrial villages, Kansas rainfall, and soot as a germ absorber.
