The Unraveling Fortune of Rodney Fiske in Boston
Rodney Fiske died at John Cunningham's home in East Second Street Boston after a life marked by vast wealth and reckless speculation. Once heir to $1,209,000 from uncle John Flood of California mining fame, he drifted from Denver real estate to London restaurants, then street life in New York and New Haven, ending as a homeless wanderer picked up by Cunningham. His body will be sent to California to rest with kin.
