Over the last two days, I'd been looking into the background
of Herman Jaeger (1836-1916), who was the proprietor of the East
River Hotel up until the mid to late 1880s
Nina became interested and located this photo taken during the
construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, which was completed on May
24, 1883.
These men are standing on the Catherine Slip side of that
intersection of Water ( the brick work at right) in front of 14
Catherine Slip.
The man behind the 'X' is Herman Jaeger, born in Prussia in
1836. His first wife, Metta, died in 1873. His second wife,
Eva...the one he shot in the face and stabbed by a
domestic...was with him until 1881.
His third wife, Margaretha, bore him seven children. He died in
Brooklyn in 1916.
More information to follow. All records from his descendants.
They probably have no idea of the significance of the photo in
connection to the murder.
Hats off to Nina, once again !!!!!

Pete:
Thanks!
I was so excited last night that I cut off the top of the photo.
That 'J.Ruppert' was the father of Jacob Ruppert, Jr, who was on
the Coroner's Inquest panel in May of 1891.

Apologies for the late response How but congratulations on
another great find from Nina. It can’t help but leave us
wondering what’s still out there.
