Keep pretty clear WP:ANYBIO C3 pass per Spicy. There's also a 1885 book and personal recollections published in 1907, 1908 biographical sketch, 1967 book, Encyclopedia of Christianity entry, Drunks: An American History, Alcohol and Drugs in North America: A Historical Encyclopedia entry just to name a few. It's pretty clear that he's notable on his own. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
