Details of widow's will
Putting this here for now so it can be added into the article at an appropriate location later:

There is an account of his widow's will in the Buffalo Evening News dated November 17, 1896.

Helped invent air brakes?
There is one newspaper item I found in researching for this article that suggests Brooks was instrumental in suggesting air brake technology to Westinghouse. So far, I don't see anything else connecting Brooks and Westinghouse. It really sounds more like urban legend than fact, so the item is here until it can be further proven.
