My great grandfather (shown front and center, I don't know who the man with the moustache is) briefly owned a saloon at the corner of Kingsbridge Road and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. It is said that he was so distraught after the death of his 10 year old son in 1909 that he sold this bar and went back to being a bartender in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. The arrival of Prohibition in 1920 put Edward Hawley Ingles out of the saloon business for good. He died in 1926 at the age of 52. View full size.
