| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the Greenbough Memorial Window but it should have said the Greenhow Memorial Window, because W.H. Greenhow, the publisher of the Hornellsville Evening Tribune, organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
| Comment: |
Window commemorates death of ten women whose sleigh was hit by a train on 1 Feb 1905 [ET1905A, SGQ2016] |
