And also in 1892 someone killed the Bordens. Thought there would be some things that would have happened in the US and the same time as in Europe. Thanks

Had to add this one although you didn't use this year. Nice thread Snokkums.

1860 Lizzie Andrew Borden is born July 19th.

Thanks. I thought it was kind of cool. All the things that happened across the pond and what happened here.
