In due time…..when I shall have paid the debt of Nature, my remains will rest here in your midst with those of my kindred and neighbors. It is possible they may be unhonored, neglected, spurned! But, perhaps, years hence …..some wandering stranger, some lone exile may erect over them a humble stone, and thereon, this epitaph, “He was Faithful.”
Lots of Railway Passes!
19th Century
About 700 railroad passes, kept in storage, date from between 1864 and 1910 and belonged primarily (but not entirely) to General William H. Seward, Jr. In 1872, there was the Adirondack Company Railroad, Allegheny Valley Railroad, Atlantic & Great Western Railroad, Brockville & Ottawa & Canada Central Railways, and Alabama & Chattanooga Railway. And that is just in the A’s.
