Old Print Article: “Coroner Gives Turkeys,” Brooklyn Daily Eagle (1902)

"The turkeys weighed from twenty-two to twenty-seven pounds each."

Coroners have big hearts. They usually keep them in jars. A brief article about one coroner who had a different kind of big heart, from the December 24, 1892 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Coroner Phillip T. Williams delighted the hearts of his employees to-day in presenting to each one a turkey. The turkeys weighed from twenty-two to twenty-seven pounds each. Coroner Williams in presenting the turkeys made a neat little speech, in which he spoke of the work of his employees during the past year and wished them a merry Christmas.”
