Talk:Alexander H. Sibley

==William Frue= The statement (in this article at the time I'm typing this) that this article's subject died with William Frue by his side doesn't mean much, because it's just a name. There's no context as to who William Frue WAS. In effect, we don't know anything BUT the name, and the presence at the subject's death. If William Frue was a taxi-driver who happened to see Sibley (a total stranger to Frue in this scenario) collapse on the sidewalk, then that's one thing. If Sibley died in a hospital and Frue was in the room at the time to dust off the Venetian blinds, that's another thing. Both are fairly meaningless. My belief is that William Frue was a mining-engineer employed by Sibley, but if you don't SAY that in the article then the sentence divulging this otherwise characterless peron's name conveys no actual information. ANYONE at Sibley's side when Sibley died was likely to possess a name, and that name could have been "William Frue". Other than that, the sentence gives us nothing.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 22:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
