I want to say Roscoe Conkling, he collapsed on his way walking home during the blizzard, catching and then dying of pneumonia. But he lived for a couple of weeks after the storm. It's funny, I just saw a short video on the storm a couple of days ago which mentioned Conkling's death.

You are correct, Steve, and my source is somewhat confusing. The way it is written, it sounds like his friends found him in the snow and already dead. Sorry.

My next clue would have been about his affair with Kate Chase Sprague.
