 | | MissScarlett: How about Elihue Hill in Memphis? |
|
| Apr-28-25 | | WilhelmThe2nd: <MissS> The Memphis, TN newspaper <The Commercial Appeal> (Apr. 4, 1915), Sect. 3, p8, states that Capablanca's opponent in the game E Hill vs Capablanca, 1915 was 'Ed Hill of Cleveland, Miss.' who was 'the Mississippi champion'. |
|
Apr-28-25
| | MissScarlett: I have a memory that <Elihue> comes from the <The Games of Jose Raul Capablanca> by Rogelio Caparros, but I will check that. |
|
| Apr-28-25 | | WilhelmThe2nd: It looks like there are two profiles for him here: Ed B Hill and Edward B Hill. |
|
Apr-28-25
 | | jnpope: All three appear to be Edward B. Hill (Mississippi champion 1904, 1905 and 1911). |
|
| Apr-28-25 | | WilhelmThe2nd: <The Commercial Appeal> (Dec. 19, 1909), Sect. 3, p7, states that Capablanca's opponent in the game E Hill vs Capablanca, 1909 was 'Ed Hill of Cleveland, Miss.'. The profiles Elihue Hill and Ed B Hill should probably be merged into Edward B Hill. |
|
Apr-28-25
| | jnpope: Doing that now. |
|
| Apr-28-25 | | WilhelmThe2nd: <j> Thanks. You were very quick on the draw there. I found his death notice and immediately looked back at CG to find you already had his vital data there. |
|
Apr-28-25
| | jnpope: Added A White vs E Maguire, 1894, maybe <NCA> can investigate poor Mr. Albert White. I found a large number of father and son duos named Albert White living in Ohio all roughly in the same period of time as the correspondence tournament... and I don't have the time to run everything down at the moment. |
|
| Apr-29-25 | | stone free or die: Do we have any chance of finding a chess game played by <Gaige>? Just wondering. (Though it would be nice for him to have a page on <CG>) |
|
Apr-29-25
 | | Stonehenge: Who the @#$% removed the <1> here? Nona Gaprindashvili??? and then added a <T> here: Nona T Gaprindashvili Now games by the great Nona will end up here Nona Gaprindashvili where they don't belong. If you hate <Nona1> Gaprindashvili so much then make it Nona Gaprindashvili (RUS). |
|
| Apr-29-25 | | stone free or die: Another reason for presenting potential changes to bio info in the Bistro for review before making the changes. |
|
Apr-29-25
| | jnpope: <z>, we'd probably need to check issues of the Pennsylvania state magazine (not sure if rhe <Woodpusher> existed then) for the 1950-1960s. If he played I don't think he was strong enough to make a splash outside of PA. |

 | | NewspaperChessArchiv: Can the profiles for Charles West Waterman be merged? Charles Waterman Charles West Waterman |
|
Apr-29-25
| | NewspaperChessArchiv: <jnpope> The Albert White you were searching lived his entire life in New London, Ohio they said. The house he was born in, he died in. An additional article with photo and bio of his chess champion days. Albert White |

 | | Tabanus: I'd like to know what "SB" stands for in Amsterdam SB (1973). |
|
| Apr-29-25 | | Retireborn: <Tab> SB = Schaakbond = chess federation, I think. I vaguely recall a discussion of that tournament on this very page when I asked a question about it. You might be able to search for that. |
|
Apr-29-25
| | Tabanus: <Retireborn> Your request in Aug. 2018 see Biographer Bistro (kibitz #18852) Amsterdam SB (1973) now with xtab, please check. |

| | jnpope: Do we have anything more on Charles A Mills? |
|
| Apr-30-25 | | stone free or die: How about Beetlestone ? <Tab> and <Missy> had a very thorough romp through the details, but it was inconclusive, beyond identifying him as being from Wolverhampton. But, these ~7 years later, perhaps addition scans have been added to the BNA (and, though less likely, the geneological records). |
|
Apr-30-25
| | NewspaperChessArchiv: <jnpope> I dug up news articles, including death certificate. He moved to Spokane, Washington, was regarded as Pacific Coast champion, then returned Cleveland, Ohio.
He was always mentioned in newspapers as Dr. C. A. Mills. I only discovered the name, when lucking upon a brief mention by a columnist who spoke of him as the "Late Dr. Charles A. Mills". Charles A. Mills
February 04, 1850 - March 03, 1927

| | jnpope: <Charles A. Mills > Thanks. I was able to dig up some more info for his bio. I haven't been able to turn up his middle name. He graduated from the Cleveland Homeopathic Hospital College in 1872. Perhaps his full name is given in the college records (a hunt for another time perhaps). |
|
May-01-25
| | NewspaperChessArchiv: <jnpope> I found his name listed as a graduate in 1872... as "C.A. Mills". He might have taken that secret to his grave. I certainly have spent some time searching. Glad to get his educational background. |

| | NewspaperChessArchiv: <jnpope> I'm tweaking a page I've had on James Narraway because I'm working on a game by Narraway/Wyeth. I see there you guys noted in Narraway's profile: <There is a bit of controversy of whether James Narraway was born in Guysboro, Nova Scotia (1) or in Sackville, New Brunswick (2).> Jeremy Gaige was right on this one. BTW, I had stored a lot of old black and white photos of James Narraway on my page a couple years ago. There's an excellent old portrait perfect to use with his profile. One day I'll get around to cleaning the photos up and colorizing. The Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Tuesday, June 17, 1947 "...In C.S. 45 Years
Mr. Narraway had been a member of the Civil Service for 45 years, In 1887, after serving as manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia at Moncton and Cambellton, N.B., he entered the Department of Justice where he was appointed chief accountant and registrar, retiring in June, 1932.
Resident of Ottawa for the past 60 years, he was born at Sackville, N.B., in 1857, son of the late Rev. James R. Narraway and Mary Close. In 1874 he graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a B.A. degree. His marriage to the former Medill Maxwell took place John, N.B., Ellas in September, 1882. Mrs. Narraway passed away in 1933. He was a member of St. James United church.
Surviving are four sons, Charles A. and Athos M., Ottawa, H, R. Narraway, Calgary, Alta., C. B. Narraway, Stanstead, Que.; and two sisters Mrs. Frank W. Nicholson, widow of the late president of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., Mrs. W. H. Fairall, Montclair, N.J. Two other sons, H. S. and L. W. Narraway, and a sister, Mrs. Charles Sandford, died some time ago.
Rev. J. Richmond Craig, minister of St. James United church, will conduct the service in the chapel of Hulse and Playfair Limited, 315 McLeod street, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Burial will be at Beechwood cemetery." https://best-in-chess.blogspot.com/... |
