William E.S. Fales

(1852-1906)

We know, and have learned quite little about, William Fales. In Henry Collins Brown's In the Golden Nineties 390 (Hastings-on-Hudson: Valentine's Manual, Inc., 1928) there is a reference to Fales as a "lawyer and poet" and we've found several other references to his poems.

Fales seems to have died in Brooklyn on May 17, 1906 at the age of 54.
