Great thread - Ted, thanks for starting it. He's my favorite 19th century HOFer.
I'd like to show cabinet photos of a few family members including one of Big Ed in uniform.
You'll see on the backs the family are identified. Tom, Bridget Delahanty - the matriarch, Kate, their sister and Big Ed. (ETA: I see the back of Tom is tough to see - but it is labeled Tom Delahanty)
What's cool to me is that the address on the back of Ed's cabinet says 'Return to W.J Delahanty 3001 Payne Ave." If you see the info I attach from a 1924 directory of Cleveland - you'll see that address listed next to Joseph who owned the family saloon on that site with brother Tom. So I would say all these were owned by the family who were from Cleveland. Hope you like.
