ON THIS DAY in 1911, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Henry E. Pierrepont Dead at his Home.” The article focused on Henry Evelyn Pierrepont passing away in his sleep.
“Pierrepont, one of Brooklyn’s leading citizens, died this morning at 7 o’clock at the Pierrpont mansion,” the Eagle reported. “He had been ill for three years of arterioscierosis and passed away in his sleep.”
