Excellent investigative work. The obituary of Lewis Ginter is probably the most detailed I've ever read. Is that how we can glean the real relationship between Ginter and Mr. Pope? "Protege, business companion, friend?" And do you think others of the time recognized what those words intimated? Very interesting. I am glad they were able to spend such quality time together, especially in those days.

Very interesting stuff, thanks!

"St. John the Baptist Church on Willoughby and Sumner avenues"

Wouldn't it have been at the present location on Willoughby between Lewis and Stuyvesant?

I was expecting to mourn the loss of this house, but it is the rare Victorian mansion that I downright dislike the look of.
