Hanging and Lynching
[edit]http://www.thevillager.com/villager_117/squaresuitcities.html
A nice link to the area of both persons.
Luther Harris, author of “Around Washington Square,” the definitive history of the square. [...] Harris noted — as is stated in the lawsuit — that the fountain is at the location of the former hanging gallows. He noted that Peter Cooper recalled seeing a hanging there as a teenager, and that Mayor Edward Cooper, his son, recollected his father having witnessed the lynching at the current site of the fountain.
“That makes that spot the most historic spot in the Village,” Harris said.

[edit]Edward Cooper was Peter Cooper's son. Edward Cooper's business partner and brother-in-law followed New York City mayor Abram S. Hewitt. W.R. Grace's terms as mayor separated Cooper and Hewitt's terms. W.R. Grace's terms were in turn separated by Franklin Edison's term.
