Default 1893 Just So Buck Ewing

While doing my prowling on the internet looking up old auctions of rare cards that occured in the past and also looking up any possible history on certain cards and their manufacturers, I came accross this:

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2010/111.html

This story blows me away that he was helping remodel his mother's bathroom and there it was. Since the family had the house since the 1920s, and the card was put there by the owner previous to them, it makes me wonder how easy it would be to track down the property info on the people that lived there before this family that put that card there in the first place. Maybe some decendents of that family that lived there before 1920 may have info that can lead to the origin of that card. Maybe the original owner of that house was a Just So Tobacco employee or lived in Cleveland or something. I know nothing about this set and can't find anything on the internet about this set, so I am assuming that there is no info about it or not much. Maybe these cards were only given to employees at Just So, or maybe they were only distributed locally? In Cleveland? Because they are Cleveland Spider players on them.
When I read this it got me thinking about this card and this set, just because of how rare it is and fascinating. And what a story behind it. I wish I had the time and the means to research it myself.
