Illustration from “Corry O’Lanus: His Views and Experiences.” 1867.

John Stanton, writing under the pen name “Corry O’Lanus” in The Eagle, had dryly suggested two years earlier that Brooklyn should roll out the new addresses by notifying the public “to bring their front doors up to the City Hall and have the numbers chalked on them.”

Grover Likes it- But-

November 28, 1903

Alexander McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, brings out a street music box for Cleveland's re-election. A tired Grover Cleveland looks out the window. 

The caption reads "Grover - There, My Good Man - Do Go Away. Your Music Is Very Sweet, but You See I Have Retired." 

Cleveland had once again stated that he was retired and would not run for President in 1904. McKelway was pushing for him to get the Democratic Nomination.

These headlines were how the Brooklyn Eagle reacted to the 1953 World Series, game by game, October 6, 1953. There seem to be two lines per headline. The Yankees defeated the Dodgers, four games to two. The Dodgers won Games 3 and 4.

January 4, 1950 was an unusually mild day. These four women—Marilyn Wichlenski, Ruth Meserole, Terry Darcy, and Marian Krish—enjoyed the weather in Cadman Plaza in downtown Brooklyn and read the papers. One is the Brooklyn Eagle.

March 9, 1947: Some 100 mothers and children from Brooklyn’s 97 day care centers protested against Governor Thomas E. Dewey’s plan to close them. Led by a wagon filled with children, they paraded up 2nd Avenue to 96th St. Josephine Casillo, in photo above, said she must work because her husband, a former longshoreman, had a foot injury and could only work occasionally. She earned $40 a week and could not afford to send her 3-year old daughter to a private nursery school. And if the city turned the day care centers over to the Department of Welfare, as proposed, she wouldn’t qualify for relief.
