  Oh, thank you. I guess I was trying NOT to look up so as not to see the young woman's face. Now, I had no choice but to see it! Thanks again, though.

Burying Binghamton dead (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Binghamton NY was the site of a terrible fire in July 1913, when the Binghamton Clothing Factory fire claimed 31 lives. Twenty-one bodies were left unidentified, and after a memorial service at the Stone Opera House (presided over by a Rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Lutheran pastor, just to cover all the likely bases), they were buried in the Spring Forest Cemetery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_Binghamton_Factory_Fire Just a few weeks ago, Binghamton dedicated a plaque to the workers lost in this fire: www.wbng.com/news/local/51419212.html

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  James Forsyth Thallon, Commissioner of Railways. Thallon was born in Scotland in 1847 and moved to Queensland as a young man for health reasons. He joined the railways and worked his way up. He became Commissioner in 1902 and led Queensland Railways through a period of rapid expansion. He was a strong supporter of Queensland’s narrow gauge which he said was appropriate for a “young country”. A popular manager, and his staff were devastated when he died in office in 1911 of dengue fever and they launched a subscription to erect this monument a year later.
