A Binghamton, NY newspaper contains a story that contains a familiar name in the last paragraph.   Is it one & the same?

Aside from the (probably not valid) eLynah connection, it's an interesting story about life in Binghamton, NY during prohibition.

It's not me, I'm Jeffrey, not Jeffery.  However, the fact that I noticed this minutes after the post tells me I've got another addiction (elynah, Cornell hockey) that needs treatment.

I noticed the difference in the spelling of the name Jeffery/Jeffrey.   But, I didn't know whether to chalk it up as a typo/misspelling or an actual difference of the names.   Anyway, thanks for clearing this up.  I hope you read the story.  It's very interesting.  Too bad you don't own that property.  It would be fun to have access to it.

Now, back to your addiction treatment!
