Notable lives and fortunes shape a curious panorama
A survey of famous figures and oddities sketches Queen Victoria as the wealthiest in Britain with a 20 million dollar fortune. It notes Abram Ephraim Elmer, 125, of Washington Mills, as the oldest man in New York. It recalls dueling memories of Prince Mmamarek, tastes of Colonel Ingersoll in dining, Baron Hirsch’s vast Jewish and Christian philanthropy, and a Persian Shah amused by orchestral tuning sounds. The piece also retells Tamberlik’s dramatic market gesture freeing birds, General Sherman’s fresh anecdotes and patient regard for veterans, and the renewed romance of Joseph Conkling and Maria Tuttle ending in marriage after years.
