I surely knew this man named Albert Cauble,
This Man was the father my dad said he wish he had. My dad said if it weren't for him he probably would not have survived his child hood,
He died in the 60's, It sure shook up my old man. It's the first time I've seen his name mentioned.

I am curious -- is the Lincoln Park Zoo in Los Angeles the same as the Selig Zoo? Chang Reynolds once told me he was at the Selig Zoo when Billy Sunday arrived. It was at the Selig Zoo where he was shot. So does Lincoln Park Zoo equal Selig Zoo?

At the auction of that show (Seils-Sterling ) in Milwaukee in September 1938 she became Louis Meitus property. The author was present when she (Lucy), Billy Sunday, and additional animals and equipment from Meitus were delivered to Zoo-park, (ex-Selig Zoo) Los Angeles, in 1940.
