• Notes

  He was the distiller who devised the Old Grand-Dad brand of bourbon (or, as the early labels called it, "sour mash") whiskey, which first appeared in 1882. He was a lifelong bachelor, and according to several online sources, was found dead in his orchard with a bottle of poison by his side, and his death was ruled a suicide. We note that if the Church had believed that he committed suicide, it would be unlikely for him to be buried at St. Joseph's.
