You can faintly see 3rd ggfather’s signature forged on the left - H B Gibson. He had 2 railroads, the latter of which was merged with others to form the NY Central. Was on the board of directors for the first year, then lost out to Erastus Corning in board battle. Fascinating character. Didn’t want to loan money to people with whiskers.
