Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 189th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1924, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Simplicity Will Mark Funeral of President’s Son.”
The article focused on the untimely death of President Calvin Coolidge’s 16-year-old son, Calvin Jr.
“Not since Lincoln’s time had such a youthful member of a president’s family been called by death, and never under more tragic circumstances,” the Eagle reported.
