Does anyone know...?

I liked this excerpt, things haven't changed much. -

It’s hard to tell where Brooklyn Eagle reporters got their information, or if they were sometimes just making it up as they went. This is taken from Elizabeth Oakes Smith’s obituary in the November 20, 1893 Brooklyn Eagle. Even though it is inaccurate, it is interesting to read the general opinion (and misconception) about EOS at the time of her death.
