Gaynor funeral (LOC)

  • Noël Zia Lee said:
    From Wikipedia: William Jay Gaynor (1849 – September 10, 1913) was an American politician from New York City, associated with the Tammany Hall political machine. He served as mayor of the City of New York from 1910 to 1913, as well as stints as a New York Supreme Court Justice from 1893 to 1909. Early in his term, Gaynor was shot in the throat by James J. Gallagher, a discharged city employee. Gaynor remains the only New York City mayor to suffer an assassination attempt. ... Although Gaynor quickly recovered, the bullet remained lodged in his throat for the next three years. During his term as mayor, Gaynor was widely considered a strong candidate for Governor or President. Tammany Hall refused to nominate him for reelection to a second term, but after accepting the nomination from an independent group of voters, he set sail for Europe. Six days later, on September 10, 1913, Gaynor died suddenly from the lingering effects of the shooting.

    I think that's what Wikipedia is saying, yes.

    Mott Street is actually in Manhattan, not Brooklyn. We'll fix this in the catalog record.

    "Mott Street (Chinese: 勿街; Jyutping: Mat6 gaai1) is a narrow but busy thoroughfare that runs in a north–south direction in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is regarded as Chinatown's unofficial "Main Street". Mott Street runs from Bleecker Street in the north to Chatham Square in the south.
    ...
    Mott Street north of Canal Street was historically part of Little Italy. Today it is predominantly Chinese."
