Colonel Mgbert, killed in the Philippines, owned the pistols used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton in their 1804 duel at Wee Hawken. The family relic links to a historic fight and follows the thread of antiquities. A curious Newcastle marriage follows a pattern of three brides with aging spouses and shifting faiths, ending with a 42 year age gap to the 84 year-old groom. The piece notes Governor Poynter of Nebraska as the long-time farmer, librarian Putnam’s assignment to Washington, Corporal Vanderbilt’s Spanish War service, and Captain Peabody presenting a Havana banner to the President.
