A widow's suit for damages. A suit for $20,000 damages has been filed in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn by Mrs. Ellen C. Van Wickle, widow of John L. Van Wickle against John Mangles who keeps a saloon at Graham and Van Cott Avenues. The plaintiff alleges that on Dec.23, 1884, her husband met his death through liquor supplied by Mangles.

Ex: our family did not come from Germany, and the ages of the family members don't match up with the ages of the 1910 and 1920 census. His wife was Mary Roach (Irish) and those are their children's names. Ditto for the 1920 census.
