"Frank Lyon Polk (September 13, 1871–February 7, 1943) was a prominent lawyer and a name partner of the law firm today known as Davis Polk & Wardwell. He graduated from Yale College[1] (B.A., 1894) and Columbia University Law School[1] (LL.D., 1897). He was a member of Scroll and Key Society. Polk served on a variety of New York City boards and commissions. He served in the United States Department of State as Counselor (1915–1919), Acting Secretary of State (1920), and Under Secretary of State (1919–1920). Polk headed the American Commission to Negotiate Peace (1919) and managed the 1924 Democratic presidential convention campaign of John W. Davis, another name partner of the firm." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Polk

In April, 1914, Polk, who was serving as Corporation Counsel in the administration of New York City Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, was wounded in the mouth by a bullet fired by Michael P. Mahoney, a would-be assassin, as the officials rode together in an open car. The bullet, probably intended for Mitchel, missed him and struck Polk instead.

There seem to be a lot of grey-eyed people in this collection. I didn't even know it was a real eye color, I've never seen a driver's license describe someone as grey eyed, and I've carded people at big events. A European thing? Were they persecuted by the law?
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
Grey eyes are now more commonly viewed as light blue/green colours, but they are perhaps more common in Europe then anywhere else. These criminals were convicted of a crime specified in section 20 of the Prevention of Crimes Act, 1871 and reported to the Secretary of State [Home Secretary] as being imprisoned in Newcastle Gaol between December 1871 - December 1873.

I think the eye color description is mistaken... It's more of a sepia color

My mother (Scots-Irish heritage - born here in 1929) had grey eyes. No blue or green - just grey.
