Handwritten endorsement, signed “J. T. Ford,” at the bottom of a one page invoice from Coolahan & Evans, Furnishing Undertakers, 8.5 x 7, for $87.00 for "Funeral Expenses of Miss Mary McGinn,” dated July 26, 1883. A note from Wm. E. Starn of Corpus Christi is written to Ford which reads, “To Mr. Jno. T. Ford, City Hall, This bill is for the funeral of one of the victims at Tivoli. ($50).” At the bottom Ford has written, “The City will pay $50 on account of this bill. J. T. Ford.” Intersecting folds, dampstaining to Ford’s handwriting, some scattered toning and soiling and a couple of other endorsements and ink marks, otherwise very good condition. On the night of July 25, 1883, Maryland's worst maritime disaster claimed the lives of 63 people (34 women, 23 children, six men) when a wooden pier at the old Tivoli picnic grounds collapsed. Tivoli was an excursion resort on the Patapsco River, ten miles from Baltimore. John T. Ford had served as a Baltimore city council member and was acting Mayor of the city for two years.
