Several of these attendees are listed as founding trustees of the Astor Library.

That is interesting.

Okay, how did you know that?

I looked up “Astor Library” on Wikipedia. It was mentioned in the bio bit about John Jacob. I thought I remembered something about it, but I really remembered something about the J.P. Morgan Library, which was founded decades later.

The library board also included the unwell Mr. Ruggles, about whose health outcome I don’t want to know until it happens in sequence.
