On November 22, 1922 in Lancaster, Ohio, six members of the family of Irving Henderson were found dead in their home - the entire household. The father and mother were found sitting in upright positions in chairs before the fire. The four children were found in their beds. What happened? Was it an accident? Was it murder?

For people who died over 100 years ago, there’s no one alive today who remembers them. So if I can read their names out loud, then maybe somewhere in the universe, their lights will shine again, if only for a moment. Because when there’s no one left who remembers, it’s hard to imagine that these people ever existed at all. But they did.

From 1926 through the 1940s, there was a very successful photographer in New York City. He photographed stars of Broadway, not to mention some of the most well-known and beloved celebrities of the time like Bob Hope, Josephine Baker, Betty Grable, and Jackie Gleason. Not only that, He was also the photographer of the famous and rich of New York society. Anyone who was anyone wanted this man to take their picture. Over the course of his career he took nearly 475,000 photographs.

One would assume that this man is well known and fondly remembered today, but he’s not. In fact, by the time he died in 1961 he had already slipped into oblivion. And in the time since his death, the man and his stunning work are almost completely forgotten.

A big THANK YOU to co-authors Clyde Adams and Maureen McCabe for bringing the story of Murray Korman to my attention, and for sharing their new book Vintage Babes of Broadway: Through the 20th Century Lens of Murray Korman.

By the 19th century, as the structure of the human body became an area of serious scientific study, cadavers were used for research, and perhaps more importantly, for the training of new physicians. There was only one problem…there weren’t enough bodies to go around.

Grief is something that never leaves you, especially when the loss happens on a special day like, say, Valentine’s Day.  Everyone experiences the loss of a loved one at some point in their lives. For people who died over 80 years ago, there will be few, if any, alive today who remember them. 

So if I can read their names out loud, then maybe somewhere in the universe, their lights will shine again, if only for a moment. Because, when there is no one left who remembers them, it’s hard to imagine they ever existed at all. But they did.

Episode 42: Spanish Influenza In Canada Part 3: 1920

This is the third and final episode of our Spanish Influenza in Canada mini series, with a focus on the year 1920. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and 1919 stretched into 1920, just as the COVID-19 Pandemic has stretched from 2020 and 21 into 2022.  Approximately 50,000 people in Canada died from Spanish Influenza and Pneumonia caused by the flu, and between 20 and 100 million worldwide.

Today, there is no one alive to remember them. 

So if I can read some of their names out loud, and share some of the stories printed in newspapers at the time, then maybe somewhere in the universe, their lights will shine again, if only for a moment.

Episode 41: Spanish Influenza In Canada Part 2: 1919 (Note: I goofed in the closing and called this episode 40. My bad.)

As we head into a third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, I wanted to offer a perspective from just over 100 years ago. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and 1919 was still going on, though perhaps to a lesser degree, in 1920. Approximately 50,000 people in Canada died, and between 20 and 100 million worldwide. This is Part 2 of 3. Part 1: 1918 is available now, and Part 3: 1920 will arrive soon.

These young men have been dead for over 100 years now, and since there's no one left who remembers them, it's almost like they never existed at all....but they did.

On Episode 34, I read The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe. While not an obituary, The Raven, Wikipedia tells us, is a narrative poem, first published in January 1845, and is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow descent into madness. In other words, a perfect piece for The Obituary Files Halloween Special.

On Episode 32, we're going to do things a little differently than that to which you have become accustomed.  This time, I’ll read several stories about the mysterious disappearance and death of Lucille Drew, from April of 1931. Because sometimes there's more to say than simply reading an obituary. I’m not here to try and solve the case, this isn’t a True Crime podcast, there are thousands of those out there already. Instead, The Obituary Files is about shining a light on people and their stories, as they were presented at the time of their death, that are otherwise forgotten by time, and lost to history.
