Slocum (1830-1911), an agent for the Adams Express Company in the Dakotas and probably acquired by him in the 1870s; inherited by Slocum's wife's niece, Edith Story Gray (Mohegan, 1874-1966); purchased by MAI from Mrs. Gray in 1962 using funds donated by John S. Williams (1901-1982, a New York City stockbroker and MAI trustee).
