Talk:William H. Gale

Dates
I'm pretty sure that Gale was born in 1829 in New York and died on February 12, 1899 in Brooklyn. While that death notice is nothing on its own, the corresponding record / lists his occupation as lawyer. I don't believe there was another lawyer by the name of William Henry Gale, at least at the time, let alone in Brooklyn, where his practice was based, or with a matching age. Thoughts?

 * I think this is very likely. I have since found a substantial number of reports between 1892 and 1899 of William H. Gale acting as a judicial commissioner in various cases, and none after 1899. BD2412  T 18:07, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I consider this confirmation. BD2412  T 04:02, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
