In 1889, in the year that Sylvester East was born, on May 31st, the South Fork Dam collapsed.

The newly formed Red Cross responded to the disaster.
Did you know?
In 1924, at the age of 35 years old, Sylvester was alive when in May, wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb kidnapped and killed 14 year old Robert Franks "in the interest of science". Leopold and Loeb thought that they were intellectually superior and that they could commit the perfect crime and not be caught. They were brought in for questioning within 8 days and quickly confessed. Clarence Darrow was hired as their defense lawyer, getting them life imprisonment instead of a death sentence. Loeb was eventually killed in prison - Leopold was released after 33 years, dying of a heart attack at age 66.
